[VERSE 1:]

She held him close, then she kissed his face
                  F           
He said, "It just has to be this way
             Am7
Yours is the heart I'll always keep
        F     
I'm not gone, even if I leave"


[CHORUS:]
        C
"If you love me, don't you be afraid
               Am
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
               F
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
                G
Just like them horses
N.C.            C
When it's time to run"


[VERSE 2:]

He said, "Rocky Mountain is calling me
             F
Gonna take a walk up where I can sing
         Am7
Turn and face that western wind
        F 
Oh, and I'll be home again"


[CHORUS:]
        C
"If you love me, don't you be afraid
               Am
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
               F
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
                G
Just like them horses
              Am      F     C   G
When it's time to run___"
                    Am      F   C   G
Oh, just like them horses


[VERSE 3:]
             C
She held his hand, he took one last breath
         F
Then she walked out to the front porch step
                Am7
Stared at the sky, tears on her face
        F 
And she swore she could hear him say


[CHORUS:]
         C
"If you love me, don't you be afraid
               Am
To look in my eyes and open up the gate
               F
Then watch me ride beneath a newborn sun
                G
Just like them horses
              C           Am
When it's time to run"
