1. With the horses that you ride, And the feelings left inside,
2. Well they claim they'd like to know, And they want to let you go,

Comes a time you need to leave, all, that, behind,
And the people gather 'round for, the, last, show,
(Just to point out for anytime you get into the chorus, ingore the last part note of
the verse and just get on to the D. Whichever works for you this is how I do it)
Chorus
D F
Well there is all we want
Am
To live and die by the sword,
G
Well they tried to complicate you
D
But you left it all behind
F
All the worldly possessions
Am
Are left for recollections
And finally it's all gone

During the solo you can play the chorus if your going for rythym.
Maybe use a Wa-Wa pedal for this part because it sorta sounds like it
is being used in the song. Your choice!

Use a different strumming pattern,
play, mute it and strum, rinse and repeat
D F
Well there is all we want
Am
To live and die by the sword,
G
Well they tried to complicate you
D
But you left it all behind
F
All the worldly possessions
Am
Are left for recollections
And finally it's all gone

Let that last power chord ring and that ends the song!
Thanks all!
