D 
       D                    A 
And forever is a long, long way 
    D                 G                         D                  G 
The desert rules, the first rule, you've got to know your way back home 
D                                  A 
And you'll be back to ride another day 
 
And when the night falls the silence all around you  
And te beating of your heart is the only sound 
Down in some lonley canyon, beside the sagebrush fire 
Dreaming of the lights of paradise town 
 
Chorus: 
D        E7                Em 
Roll on Owyhee, wild horse heaven 
                 G       A 
I hope it always will be 
D       E7 
Roll on Owyhee 
     G         A         D 
Far across the sagebrush sea
