[Verso 1]
 
D 
The day's been a while fading 

Seems like we have slowed 
   G 
My eyes are getting weary 
                   D 
Can barely see the road 

Been a while since we left behind the city lights 
               A                        D      G A 
There's just a line winding through the night 


[Verso 2]
 
D 
Yesterday's lie scattered 

Like broken swords and shields 
         G 
Like the used up shells and bullets 
                         D 
On a hundred battlefields 
D 
When, I think of all the close calls 

Both sides of love and death 
    A                         D 
Sometimes I can hardly get my breath 


[Refrão]

                    G      A  D 
But I'll follow the ribbon anyhow 
                G 
I'll follow the ribbon 
A 
That's all right for now 
D                       C 
Up in the high country 
G                             D G 
Or down where the river flows 

Wherever it goes

[Ponte]
 
G 
Don't care if they like it 
F#m 
Don't care if they don't 
G 
Never did much care about 
F#m 
If they will or won't 
G 
If all you want to know is acorns 
F#m 
Rootin' me a patch of earth 
E7 
What can you praise 
A 
That's really any worth 


[Verso 3]
 
         D 
I'm just living with the ringing 

Of tomorrow's ancient rhymes 
G 
The road ahead may be shorter 
                           D 
Than the one we left behind 
D 
If there's whiskey in the bottle 

Leave some for me 
A                        D 
I'll get to it, eventually 


[Refrão]

                G 
I'll follow the ribbon 
A             D 
By the cold lagoon 
           G 
Follow the ribbon 
A 
Under the helpless moon 
D                        C 
Winding through the dark hills 
        G               D      G 
Where a million stars a-falls 
             D 
Wherever it goes
