Earth Rider

 

Written by John Stewart

 

'Earth Rider' is on the great "Willard" album, Capitol Records, 1970, best re-release as BGO Records double CD (2001) (together with the outstanding

"California Bloodlines" album from 1969).

Now we have worked out the chords for all of the songs on these two classic Stewart albums.

 

 

Capo 3rd fret

 

(G) (Fj7) (C) (G)

Good earth rider (Em)singing,

And his (G)songs are all the (Fj7)same.

(G)I can laugh and (Em)I can cry,

And (G)I can feel the (Fj7)pain.

(G)Good earth rider (Em7singing

What his (G)two good (G7)eyes can (C)see,

That across the hills from (G)Placerville

The (Am7)wind (D)(hold) sure can feel (G)free. (Fj7) (C) (G)

 

In the stinking concrete (Em)cities

Oh, I (G)never do feel (Fj7)clean.

The (G)air is dirt and the (Em)ladies' skirts

Are e(G)nough to make me (Fj7)mean.

(G)Good earth riders, (Em7look around,

And I (G)think that (G7)you'll a(C)gree,

That across the hill from (G)Placerville

The (Am7)wind (D) (hold) sure can feel (G)free. (Fj7) (C) (G)

 

Good earth rider (Em)singing,

And his (G)songs are all too (Fj7)clear.

(G)I'm alone, (Em)love me please,

Does (G)anybody (Fj7)hear?

(G)Good earth riders (Em)all the same,

(G)Looking (G7)to be (C)free,

And across the hill from (G)Placerville

The (Am7)wind (D)(hold) sure calls to (G)me: (Fj7) (C) (G)

 

Yeah, a(C)cross the hill from (G)Placerville

The (Am7)wind (D)(hold) sure can feel (G)free.

(Fj7) (C) (G)   (Fj7) (C) (G)  and fade out.
