The Rut chords

[Intro]
Em  G  D  Am  Em  G  C
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em            G             D                Am
Early fall descended on the dry back country Aspens
   Em           G                 C
It could be any time now that the bulls start bugling
  Em                    G                 D                Am
I watched the pack mule panniers, see the loads are riding even
Em          G             Am
Is it in my mind or did I finally hear one sing?
 
 
[Verse 2]
          Em                G                 D                 Am
It's been ten years since I first came to the mountains with my father
  Em                G              C
A half pint in each saddle bag and stars in both my eyes
        Em                G                D         Am
I don't miss the taste of liquor or really anything about it
        Em        G             Am
But the temporary shelter was a welcome compromise

[Chorus]
C  G                 D               Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C         G             Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C  G            D                  Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C    G                D                     Am                 C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there

[Verse 3]
    Em               G                D                 Am
The bull had come in tight and he was screamin' in dark timber
        Em                 G                C
I could see his brown eyes movin', hear him breathin' as he wheeled
      Em             G               D                  Am
But tomorrow full of promise, I just lived there in the moment
Em               G               Am
Hunted back door camp for enough grouse to make a meal
 
 
[Chorus]
C  G                 D               Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C         G             Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C  G            D                  Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C    G                D                     Am                 C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
Em  G  D  Am  Em  G  C
Em  G  D  Am  Em  G  Am
 
 
[Chorus]
C  G                 D               Am
Oh friend, I'm gonna ride out of the rut I'm in
G C         G             Am
A little elevation and an open-ended prayer
C  G            D                  Am
Holdin' out for more than breakin' even
C    G                D                     Am                 C
I've come back to the mountains and they're all still standin' there
 
 
[Outro]
Em  G  D  Am  Em G  C
