Tom: Em
Em D Am Em D
[Verse 1]
Em
In the days when horses rode
D
And man made the wind
Am
The north became our leader
Em D
When the west turned its back on the sun again
Em
We moved like whittled water
D
Sped by narrowed stone
C Am D Em
In the da-ays when horses rode
[Verse 2]
Em
Our feet squeezed their barrel chests
D
Their feet barreled through the dirt
Am
No line between man and beast
Em D
And we were one with the earth
Em
Down narrow mountain passes
D
You’d never make it through alone
C Am D Em
In the da-ays when horses rode
[Refrain]
C Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
D
She turned like a rhyme
C
That you hear and can’t forget
C Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D Am Em
Fast enough to save your life
[Verse 3]
Em
Unbroken spirits carried home
D
Broken men and broken bones
Am
Hooves and heroes gathered
Em D
In the middle of the main road
Em
Breaking the news we’d known for weeks
D
To women and children with tear-stained cheeks
C Am D Em
In the da-ays when horses rode
[Refrain]
C Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
D
She turned like a rhyme
C
That you hear and can’t forget
C Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D Am Em
Fast enough to save your life
[Intro]
Em D Am Em D
Em D C Am D Em
[Verse 4]
Em
Me and my mare went back to work
D
Tending the farm and the pasture
Am
Till she walked alone past the boundary line
Em D
I knew not to follow after
Em
There were things that were hard to believe
D
And things that you had to
C Am D Em
In the da-ays when horses rode
[Refrain]
C Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
D
She turned like a rhyme
C
That you hear and can’t forget
C Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D Am Em
Fast enough to save your life
D Am Em
Fast enough to save your liiiiiiiiife
