SONG OF THE TRAIL - C capo @ 5

James Michael Taylor

     C                              F                         Dm

Last night I was riding alone with the herd
G C
The moon and the stars in the night
The smell of the horses and grasses and cows
Made up for the absence light

The song of the trail is older than Time
It’s written across the bright sky
The stars are the reason
The moon is the rhyme
At the heart of that trail lullaby

       Bb                Am

I ride hard. I ride long
Dm
And the rhythm of the hooves on the trail
G
Is part of the song.
Am Dm Dm Em F G C
I ride hard. I ride long.

The song of the trail is a wandering song
But never is aimless, you see
Sometimes it’s hopeful. Sometimes it’s sad
But, you’re always there waiting for me

I ride hard. I ride long
And the rhythm of the hooves on the trail
Is part of the song. I ride hard. I ride long.
