Harriet

Em D Am Em D

[Verse 1]
        Em
In the days when horses rode
     D
And man made the wind
     Am
The north became our leader
          Em                          D
When the west turned its back on the sun again
     Em
We moved like whittled water
  D
Sped by narrowed stone
        C Am        D      Em
In the da-ays when horses rode

[Verse 2]
     Em
Our feet squeezed their barrel chests
       D
Their feet barreled through the dirt
    Am
No line between man and beast
    Em                    D
And we were one with the earth
 Em
Down narrow mountain passes
       D
You’d never make it through alone
        C Am        D     Em
In the da-ays when horses rode

[Refrain]
C              Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
     D
She turned like a rhyme
          C
That you hear and can’t forget
C                       Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D      Am                 Em
Fast enough to save your life

[Verse 3]
    Em
Unbroken spirits carried home
  D
Broken men and broken bones
 Am
Hooves and heroes gathered
        Em                 D
In the middle of the main road
  Em
Breaking the news we’d known for weeks
     D
To women and children with tear-stained cheeks
        C Am        D      Em
In the da-ays when horses rode

[Refrain]
C              Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
     D
She turned like a rhyme
          C
That you hear and can’t forget
C                        Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D      Am                 Em
Fast enough to save your life

Em D C Am D Em

[Verse 4]
 Em
Me and my mare went back to work
 D
Tending the farm and the pasture
 Am
Till she walked alone past the boundary line
    Em                  D
I knew not to follow after
             Em
There were things that were hard to believe
      D
And things that you had to
        C Am        D     Em
In the da-ays when horses rode

[Refrain]
C              Em
Oh-oh my sweet Harriet
     D
She turned like a rhyme
          C
That you hear and can’t forget
C                       Em
Faster than your last drink goes dry
D      Am                 Em
Fast enough to save your life
D      Am                 Em
Fast enough to save your liiiiiiiiife
