[Verse 1]
G                      Am
Gather your horses in darkness
C                      G
Woodsmoke burns your eyes
                    Am
The chill, settles around you
    C                      D
The moon's gone from the sky

Em*              C
  Your breath it steams
G                  C     C
  In the crackling air
                         D
Waiting for starlight to fade
    Em*     D    Em*    Dsus4    D
And sunrise

[Verse 2]
G                   Am
  Swing the saddle over
   C             G
So gently into place
                          Am
The flick of an ear the flash of white
         C            D
From the blaze on his face

Em*              C
Near the flame's warmest bit
G                      C      C
Waiting for the moment when,
                      D
The waking day will bring

Em*       D
Sunrise

C        G         E       G
Oooooooooh-oooooooooooooooooh

[Verse 3]
G              Am
  Put boot, to stirrup
     C                G
Your horse is coiled tight
                     Am
  Col'(d) creak of the leather
           C             D
'Round the edges of the night

Em*             C
Listen to the stillness
   G                C
It echoes while you wait
                          D
For the unborn day to explode

    Em*       D
And sun rise
Em*
Sun rise

[Bridge]
D                     C
  All at once there's color
          G
Where the air was dark and cold
D                      C
  Now the tracing of hillside
        G
Now the fence-line shines like gold

E   Em*         C
The bird in the willows
G                   C       C
Starts its morn-in' song
                      D
An' you ride into the day

    Em*      D
And sunrise
    Em*
And sunrise

[Interlude]
C        G         E       G
Oooooooooh-oooooooooooooooooh
E Em*  C     D
  Oooooooooh-oooooooooooooooooh
