G                                  C               G
Got talking to my Grand Dad in the bar of his hometown 
C               G               D
Sipping on a beer to pass the time 
G                          C                      G
He lived through many ages, passed on the cowboy crown 
C                       G             D
His stories etched in lines upon his brow 
C             G                    D           G
I fought in two world wars for the freedom you enjoy 
C                           G                  D    D#dim
And I've loved this country more than it's loved me 

Em                         G      D/F#            Em
I've seen a lot of changes son, learned a trick or two 
Em                         D            Em
Now it's time to pass the learning onto you 


Chorus
        C  D(C-shape)      Em
Cowboy ride, the cowboy rides 
          C
From the brave New England Ranges
                       G 
To a bright red desert sky
          C                         Em             C
We could learn a thing or two if we only take the time 
    Em             D             Em   Em - D/F
To listen to the cowboy and his ride 


He drove Cattle through the ranges, nursing every brand 
Learned to love each corner of this land 
The sun was his companion, his mistress, moonlight 
He dreamed his dreams by campfire at night 

I see an angry world out there well they're always wanting more 
But simple dreams will prosper in the end 
You see we've lost a sense of place and it seems a sense of grace 
Those all too soon forgotten yesterdays 

Chorus

Solo (not 100 on this)
C - D(C-shape) - Em  C - C - G - C - Em - C - Em - D - Em - Em - D/F#

Well, he wasn't one for talking long, once his case was made 
Once you understood his point of view 
He saw how times were changing, moving way to fast 
When there's lessons we can still learn from our past 

Son this year might see me through, I've done all that I can 
I'm proud to say my blood runs through your veins 
Remember where you came from boy, stand up straight and proud 
And hold tight to these thoughts that I give to you 


Some small licks you can use.
