[Intro]
 
B    F#    G#m   E
B    F#    G#m   E
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
B           F#
We will fly, way up high
G#m               E
Where the cold wind blows
B             F#                 G#m
Or in the sun, laughing having fun
            E
With the people that she knows
B                   F#                       G#m
  And if the situation should keep us separated
            E
You know the world won't fall apart
B                    F#
   And you will free the beautiful bird
G#m
    That's caught inside your heart
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
E             F#
  Can't you hear her?
E             F#
  Oh she cries so loud
E             F#
  Casts her wild note
E       F#        B
  Over water and cloud
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      E      B           C#m          A
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
E            B             C#m     A
   We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah
E        B      C#m          A
   Way up in the sky, little darlin'
E           B   C#m          A               B
  And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
 
 
[Interlude]
 
F#   G#m   E
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
B               F#
  You will grow,  and until you go
G#m             E
   I'll be right there by your side
B               F#
  And even then, whisper the wind
G#m              E
    And she will carry up your ride
B               F#
  I hear all the people of the world
G#m             E
   In one bird's lonely cry
B            F#
  See them trying every way they know how
G#m
    To make their spirit fly
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
E             F#
   Can't you see him?
E             F#
   He's down on the ground
E             F#
   He has a broken wing
E        F#      B
   Looking all around
 
 
[Chorus]
 
      E      B           C#m          A
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
E            B             C#m     A
   We'll go riding on the horses, yeah yeah

   Way up in the sky, little darlin'
E           B   C#m          A
  And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

Pls do an official version of this godawful song. Every Australian Musos worst nightmare alongside Khe Sanh. ;)

Walter Becker co-wrote The Horses with Rickie Lee Jones. In future don’t be so quick to point out others errors when you blatantly don’t know what you are talking.
