CAPO: 6th Fret
[INTRO:] C
[VERSE 1:]
She held him close, then she kissed his face
He said, "It just [F]has to be this way
Yours is the [Am7]heart I'll always keep
I'm not [F]gone, even if I leave"
[CHORUS:]
"If you [C]love me, don't you be afraid
To look in my e[Am]yes and open up the gate
Then watch me r[F]ide beneath a newborn sun
Just like them h[G]orses
N.C. C
When it's time to run"
[VERSE 2:]
He said, "Rocky Mountain is calling me
Gonna take a [F]walk up where I can sing
Turn and [Am7]face that western wind
Oh, and [F]I'll be home again"
[CHORUS:]
"If you [C]love me, don't you be afraid
To look in my e[Am]yes and open up the gate

Oh, just like them h[Am]orses[F][C][G]
[VERSE 3:]
She held his [C]hand, he took one last breath
Then she [F]walked out to the front porch step
Stared at the sk[Am7]y, tears on her face
And she [F]swore she could hear him say
[CHORUS:]
"If you l[C]ove me, don't you be afraid
