It's just a guide for you to use in your own improvisation INTRO: Am VERSE 1: D The night was cold Am And the wind was howling D I was awaken by the sound Am Of hoof beats pounding. D Outside the window, on the ground Am My old hound dog was growling CHORUS: F G Am Grey Riders flew across my lawn F G E I looked again and they all were gone. Am That voice was calling F And it cut through the night E Come on boys, let her go. RIFF #1 RIFF #2 RIFF #1 RIFF #3 RIFF #1 RIFF #4 Am VERSE 2: Up on a hill They rode in one long column They were freezing with the chills Of the new day dawning. Their hair long and grey They heard just one voice calling CHORUS: Grey Riders on the morning sky, The sun made diamonds of their road-weary eyes. That voice is calling And it cut through the night Come on boys, let her go. RIFF #1 RIFF #2 RIFF #1 RIFF #3 RIFF #1 RIFF #4 Am SOLO (over VERSE chords) CHORUS: Grey Riders flew across my lawn I looked again and they all were gone.
