Verse 1

Bm G Bm G

Childhood living is easy to do

Am C D G

The things you wanted, I bought them for you

Bm G Bm G

Graceless lady, you know who I am

Am C D G

You know I can’t let you slide through my hands

Chorus

Am C D G

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Am C D G

Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Verse 2

Bm G Bm G

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain

Am C D G

Now you decided to show me the same

Bm G Bm G

No sweeping exits or offstage lines

Am C D G

Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

Chorus

Am C D G

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Am C D G

Wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Verse 3

Bm G Bm G

I know I dreamed you a sin and a lie

Am C D G

I have my freedom but I don’t have much time

Bm G Bm G

Faith has been broken, tears must be cried

Am C D G

Let’s do some living after we die

Chorus

Am C D G

Wild horses couldn’t drag me away

Am C D G

Wild, wild horses, we’ll ride them someday

Practice tip: The Bm chord is the trickiest change. Practice the Bm to G transition until it’s smooth. You can substitute Bm7 (x20202) if the full barre is difficult.
