Notes

• Dashes (–) = held syllable or rest.

• Multi-syllable words split across beats (“to-mor-row’s” → 1 & 2).

• This is a simplified transcription; the singer may push/pull timing (syncopation).

• You can now “count along” while singing to feel how words align with the beat grid.

Would you like me to mark the measures (bar lines) so you can see exactly where each line of the lyric starts and ends in the music (like | 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & | …)?

Clouds so swift, rain won’t lift
Gate won’t close, railing’s froze
Get your mind off wintertime
You ain’t goin’ nowhere

Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?

I don’t care how many letters they sent
The morning came, the morning went
Pack up your money, pick up your tent
You ain’t goin’ nowhere

Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?

Buy me a flute and a gun that shoots
Tailgates and substitutes
Strap yourself to a tree with roots
You ain’t goin’ nowhere

Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?

Now Genghis Khan, he could not keep
All his kings supplied with sleep
We’ll climb that hill, no matter how steep
When we get up to it

Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?

Ooh-wee, ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh-ho, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
