Intro:
Am D Am D


    D                              G               G/F#
The horse I ride is old but he has served me well
Em                              A
Coat like old tobacco, rich and warm
      D                       G                            G/F#
He is old but he is sound, my reins chains ring like bells
Em                         A    Bbm        Bm     D
We fit well together as we glide above the storm


And the boots I wear are old but they have served me well
Leather like old tobacco, cracked and brown
The tops are scuffed and broken but my spur chines ring like bells
My rowels gleam just like the starlight and the huge we spurn the ground


Chorus:
        C                          G                                 D            Am  D
And the trails I ride are new even though I’ve made this circle many times before
         C                                 D 
For they change with every season and with every shift of light
         G                            G/F#   Em           C      D
From the summit where the clouds fall to the sweet valley floor
 

And the saddle I ride is old but it has served me well
Leather like old tobacco, buffed and smooth
It fits me like a friend with no secrets left to tell
A stride I make the circle and I ride where I choose

Chorus


And the life I live goes on it fits me oh so well
Old and new together evergreen
I mount my horse at dawning and my heart rings like a bell
We ride through the canyons where the air is fresh and clean


D   Am  D
Aww ooh ooh 
D   Am  D
Aww ooh ooh
D   Am  D
Aww ooh ooh
