[Verse 1]

   E      G      B
As I went up the hill
   E       G       B
To see the sisters three
    E    G          D
The only words that they could say
      E            D        E
Were "Soon they'll come for thee"

   E      G      B
As I went to the square
   E      G        B
To see my brothers hang
    E    G          D
The only words that they could say
      E       D    E
Were "Till we meet again"

[Refrain]

G          D
Ride away, ride away
Em           C
Baby we will ride
D            C
Rest upon my shoulder
  D               B
Until the morning light

[Verse 2]

   E      G      B
As I went to the church
   E      G       B
To let my soul be stilled
    E    G          D
The only words that I could hear
     E       D       E
Came echoing off the hills

[Refrain]

G          D
Ride away, ride away
Em           C
Baby we will ride
D             C
Sleep upon my shoulder
          D                 B
While the bullets 'round us fly
G         D
Far away, far away
Em               C
Way out past the world

With a bullet in your side
G         D
Far away, far away
Em               C
Way out past the world
