[Intro]
F G C C/B Am F G C
[verse 1]
C F C
The wind is blowin cold down the mountain tips of snow
G
And 'cross the ranges lyin brown and dead
C F C
It's cryin through the valley trees that wear the mistletoe
G C
And mournin' with the grey clouds overhead
[Chorus]
F G C Am
Yet it's sweet with the beat of my little horses feet
F G C
And I whistle like the air is warm and blue
F G C Am Am/G
For I'm ridin up the christmas trail to you, old folks
F G C
I'm ridin up the christmas trail to you
[Verse 2]
C F C
Oh maybe it was good when the whinny of the spring
G
Had wheeled me to hoppin of the bars
C F C
And livin in the shadow of a sailin buzzards wing
G C
And sleepin underneath a roof of stars
[Chorus]
F G C Am
But the bright campfire light only dances for a night
F G C
While the home fire burns forever clear and true
F G C Am Am/G
So round the year I circle back to you, old folks
F G C
And I'm ridin up the christmas trail to you
[Break into KEY CHANGE]
F G C C/B Am F G C
[Verse 3]
D G D
Oh maybe it was good at the roundup in the fall
A
When the clouds of bawlin dust before us ran
D G D
And the pride of rope and saddle was the drivin of us all
A D
To a stretch of nerve and muscle man to man
[Chorus]
G A D D/C# Bm
But the pride sorta died when the man got weary eyed
G A D
Was a sleepy boy who rode the night guard through
G A D D/C# D/B D/A
And he dreamed himself along a trail to you, old folks
