A     E                F♯m
At dawn we left the mountains
A     E                    F♯m
Followed the rivers down and 
A     E              F♯m
Every man Jack amongst us
Bm        E                      D
Swore that they'd soon return

With heavy hearts we rode out
And left our homes and wives and
Days later every sandstorm
Would echo back our lies

D                  A
Dry your tears
       E                            D                               F♯m                              A                      
My darling I'll be back before the Winter rains have come
         E                           D                               F♯m                 A                 E                 D
My darling I'll be back before you notice I am gone

We came upon a town where
There were no men at all and
One of us started whisp'rin'
Of all the things we'd sworn

We left him there to die and
We spoke no more of him
We knew we'd crossed the line and 
We were just soulless things

Dry yours tears
My darling I'll be back before your tapestry is done
My darling I'll be back before you notice I am gone

Solo over verse & chorus

When we could ride no more we
We counted up our dead and
No man among us spoke of 
Of the past lives we'd led

One day I'll take my axe and
I'll settle up my debts and
I'll take my horse and maps and
I swear I'll go back yet
