[Verse 1]
G
Unfit was I for the Scarlett Mounties
D G
Dandy dude townies, drunkard down and outies
G
But I knowed some boys that I once called family
D G
Mounted high in the year of '85
[Verse 2]
G
Major Stewart went down and he left his cows
D G
Back in Fort McLeod when the news circled 'round
G
That the Métis had enough and there's rustlers on the prowl
D G
And Assiniboia needs us boys to straighten her out
[Chorus]
G
Rocky Mountain Rangers, riding o'er the plains
D G
Serve all the western cavalry, there's none any stranger
G
Rocky Mountain Rangеrs well equipped for dangеr
D G
Mounted high in the year of '85
[Instrumental]
G D G G D G
[Verse 3]
G
One evenings patrol on Cypress Hills
D G
We drank up our fill and the hour was still
G
When a Winchester shot like the ringing of a bell
D G
Some boys of Gabriel Dumont's are shooting us to hell
[Verse 4]
G
So it's raise up your six-guns, lest we be undone
D G
Rake some fur, slack them reins, let your ponies run, run
G
How I survived I may never understand, son
D G
Woolly times in the year of '85
[Chorus]
G
Rocky Mountain Rangers, riding o'er the plains
D G
Serve all the western cavalry, there's none any stranger
G
Rocky Mountain Rangers well equipped for danger
D G
Mounted high in the year of '85
[Outro]
D7 G G D G
Disbanded in the year of '85
