The version below is fine on piano but here's a version that works on guitar
Capo 3
C - D - C D G - - - (hold on the G for an extra measure, play along to hear it)
C - D - C C/B G - - -
C - D - C D G - - -
C Bm C D G
Set out early, every seasoned rider knows
Bm Em C D
Keep an even pace, steady as she goes
Bm C B Em
Headed back to town after several nights away
C Bm C D G
I rode past you on the road again today
Gentle shadows in the mist among the trees
Who awakes prepared to face such sights as these?
Dm Am B Em
God keep the bounty hunter who shows mercy to his prey
I rode past you on the road again today
C G
And as you approached I could sense the threat
Am Bm C G
But a stranger's just a friend who hasn't shared their secrеts yet
Make camp by sundown, watchfire burning bright
Songs bloom in the dark and throb down in the night
Dm Bm Em B Em
I seek the gate of wisdom, the secret state of play
I rode past you on the road again today
C Bm Am G
Rise up restless, get ready for the waterworks
Shun the hollow places where my marksman lurks
Dm Bm Em B Em
One of us will tire and one will rise and ride away
I rode past you on the road again today
C - D - C D G - - -
C - D - C C/B G - - -
C - D - C D G - - -
C - D - C C/B G - - -
C - D - C D G - - -
