[Verse]

Em                      C
You used to carry the flag
              Em    +RIFF 1
You were the soldier
Em                     C
You used to head the point
              Em  +RIFF 1
You were the older
Am                     F
You used to fight for peace
              Am  +RIFF 2
War was no stranger
Em                    C
You used to walk the line
            Em  +RIFF 1
Right into danger


[Chorus]

F           G  (RIFF 3)
The wind cries
             Am  +RIFF 4
Dead in the saddle         (2x)

PART 1 (2x)


[Verse 2]

Em                  C
You used to hold me up
                Em
When you were younger
Em                    C
You had the coldest eyes
             Em
They put me under
Am                    F
You weren't they only one
                 Am
Who felt like crying
Em                    C
You weren't the only one
                Em
Who felt like dying


[Chorus]

 F           G
The wind cries
             Am
Dead in the saddle  (2x)

PART 1 (2x)


[Verse 3]

Em                     C
You used to stare the night
              Em
For distant thunder
Em                  C
You used to have a look
              Em
That made me wonder
Am                    F
You held the hand of death
                    Am
When you rode into battle
Em                    C
As you rode like the wind
                       Em
You could hear deaths rattle


[Chorus]

 F          G
The wind cries
             Am
Dead in the saddle   (4x)
