Intro: D  G  D  G 

D 
It’s all about where you put the horizon 
         G 
Said the great John Ford to the young man rising 
           D 
You got to frame it just right and have some luck of course 
       G 
And it helps to have a tall man ridin' on the horse 
D 
Tell them just enough to still leave them some mystery 
  G 
A grasp of the ironic nature of history 
  A                           
A man turns his back on the comforts of home 
    G                                  D 
The Monument Valley to ride off alone 


INTRO 

             D 
And when the dust all settles and the story is told 
G 
History is made by the side of the road 
       D 
By the men and women that can persevere 
    G 
And rage through the storm, no matter how severe 
    A 
And whether it’s a horse or a car or a train 
        G 
There’s gonna be some fine times and there’s gonna be some pain 
       A 
In the end it’s a silhouette framed by the sun 
             G                                      D 
And just The Monument Valley when the evening comes 


INTRO 

        A 
It’s a strong wind blowing on the open range 
      G 
It’s gonna be beautiful and it’s gonna be strange 
      A 
It’s where to plant the camera and when to say action 
G 
When to print the legend and when to leave the facts in 
A 
You turn your back on the comforts of home 
    G                                      D 
And wander round The Monument Valley alone
