[C] [F] [C] [Dm]
[C] There's a rugged road on [G] the [F] prairie
[G] Stretching all across [C] the last frontier
There are strangers drive [Gm] solitary
[F] Blessed [C] is the lonesome pioneer
Hold [Dm] [C] on, hold on, hold on
[F] I've [Dm] heard you find a home [C] on the rise
Gone, hope [Dm] slowly dying
Tell [C] me how you could have ridden through
[F#] Still [C] through the end [Am] of miles yet [E] to ground
[F] Although [C] an [Dm] old road [C] can take her
She [F] [C] [Dm] [C]
can blaze a trail
Although the rumbling dims her guiding light to just as far
When the hour is low she comes tumbling
[G] But when the moon is high [C] she gives her heart
[Dm] [C] Hold on, hold on, hold on
[F] I've [Dm] heard you find a home [C] on the rise
Gone, hope [Dm] slowly dying
Tell [C] me how you could have ridden through
[F#] Gaining [C] steady [Am] till this round [E] is won
[Am] On the long and [Dm] lonely [C] road to kingdom come
People [F] [C] [F] [C]
far below [G] chasing pleasures
[C] [G] Offer her directions on [C] the run
Prophets on a path offer [G] treasures
Though she's mighty hungry she [C] takes none
[Dm] Hold [C] on, hold [F] on, [C] hold on
[Dm] I've heard you find a home [C] on the rise
Gone, hope slowly [Dm] dying
Tell [C] me how you could have ridden [F#] through
[C] Blindly faithful [Am] but far no [E] wonder
[F] On the [C] long and [Dm] lonely [C] road to kingdom come
[F] When [C] [Dm]
[C] the sun goes down at the [Dm] right time
She comes a-whining through the purple [Am] [C] gaze
Just a feather's touch [G] in the night time
But it'll color all my [C] weary days
[G#] [C] Shining [Am] finer than this earthly [E] sun
[F] On the [C] ragged rugged [Dm] road [C] to kingdom come
[F#] [C] On the ragged [Dm] rugged road [C] to kingdom come
[C] There's a rugged road on [G] the [F] prairie
[G] Stretching all across [C] the last frontier
There are strangers drive [Gm] solitary
[F] Blessed [C] is the lonesome pioneer
Hold [Dm] [C] on, hold on, hold on
