Intro: F# B (3X) G#
F# B F# B
In she comes a-ridin', on a mornin' sunrise
F# B F# B
I am left to believing all that is standing before my eyes
D#m G# D#m G#
And I wonder, Now I wonder
B F#
Would the sun have shown ever so brightly alone
We been livin' all of our lives on the other side of the hill
Drifting on a golden wing, and I can't wait to hear the smile
She can sing, She can sing
Take me through the day, steal my breath away
F# B
And we ride the countryside, take it high and wide,
F# B
She brings the crackers, cheese and wine
D#m G#
Oh, they're gonna bust my side
And she's got strawberries comin' by the dozen
Brown sugar and sweet cream
Set my mouth, set my mouth a-buzzin'
F# B F# B
Take my hand and run, take me down to the river blue
F# B
Throw a whisper to the wind
D#m G# D#m G#
That all you're sayin' is true, all you're sayin' is true
F# B F# B
Ride the countryside, Take me high and wide (repeat and fade)
