Em                                      D                                       
I have wandered through the hills of better days
C                                       G
Broken my own heart with my cheatin’ ways
Em                                      D
So I’ll try to make amends I will rectify
C                                       D
All the time I spent more dead than alive

Chorus
C                               G
Darlin’ hitch up the Conestoga
Em              D       C
Ride my gently to & fro
C                               G
I have searched many a lifetime 
Em              D       C
All for what I do not know
Em      D       C
All for what I know


Em                                      D
Give me freedom like the flight of a raven’s wing
C                                       G
Lie down with the sun, rise and start to sing
Em                                              D
Lonesome doves will always find their way back home
C                                       D
But there’s seed to feed anywhere we roam

Chorus

Bridge
D                                       C
I will take the reins when you need to sleep
D                                       C
I will soothe your pain if your back grows weak
G                               D
But first these words you must speak
C               Em      C       D       
I am ready to go, I’m ready to go

Chorus
C                       D
Darlin’ hitch up the Conestoga
Em              D       C
Ride my gently sweet and low
C                       D
I have searched many a lifetime
Em            D         C
All for what I do not know
Em      D       C
All for what I know

Ready to go…ready to go
I have wandered through the hills of better days…..
