[Chords] A/D is mostly played with an alternating hammer-on: xx0200 / xx0220 [Intro] A/D E x2 [Verse 1]
I Dbought him down in Houston from a cowboy friend of mine He Asaid he'd named him Rio, got him on the border line He's Dbred just like the river, and he runs as free and wild A good F#mhorse don't get no better, he can Eweather any mile He said, "A/DWhy don't you take him out past the lake and Elet him run? And A/Dyou'll come to know that red turns to gold in a Esetting sun"
[Chorus]
Every Avalley and mountain, I F#mride up and down them I Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D From the Atop to the bottom, I F#mdon't try to stop him I just Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D E
[Verse 2]
And when we Dcame up on the river, I could tell the horse had changed There was Asomethin' 'bout that water, like it was runnin' through his veins And I'll Dnever understand it, how he knew just what to do In the F#mshadows of the darkness, hell, you Ecouldn't see the moon And A/DI don't believe that Rio could see each sEtep he'd take But A/Dsure as the rain, he finds his way to theE river bank
[Chorus]
Every Avalley and mountain, I F#mride up and down them I Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D From the Atop to the bottom, I F#mdon't try to stop him I just Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D E A/D E
[Bridge]
Oh he said, "A/DWhy don't you take him out past the lake and Elet him run? And A/DI came to find my own peace of mind with the Erisin' sun
[Chorus]
Every Avalley and mountain, I F#mride up and down them I Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D From the Atop to the bottom, I F#mdon't try to stop him I just Ego wherever Rio Dgoes A/D Every Atrail, every turn, every F#mlesson I learned I Efollowed my heart and his Dsoul, so I F#mgo, I just Dgo Wherever Rio A/Dgoes E OhA/D! E Wherever Rio A/Dgoes E A/D E
