INTRO: D  G  D  G

D
It’s all about where you put the horizon
         G
Said the great John Ford to the young man rising
           D
You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course
       G
And it helps to have a tall man ridin' on the horse
D
Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery
  G
A grasp of the ironic nature of history
  A                          
A man turns his back on the comforts of home
    G                                  D
The Monument Valley to ride off alone


INTRO

             D
And when the dust all settles and the story is told
G
History is made by the side of the road
       D
By the men and women that can persevere
    G
And rage through the storm, no matter how severe
    A
And whether it’s a horse or a car or a train
        G
There’s gonna be some fine times and there’s gonna be some pain
       A
In the end it’s a silhouette framed by the sun
             G                                      D
And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes


INTRO

        A
It’s a strong wind blowing on the open range
      G
It’s gonna be beautiful and it’s gonna be strange
      A
It’s where to plant the camera and when to say action
G
When to print the legend and when to leave the facts in
A
You your back on the comforts of home
    G                                      D
And wander round The Monument Valley alone
