VERSE:
                  Em
Well I heard you died out in Cheyenne
         C
With my mother's ring on your hand
   G                              D
A note in your pocket said "I'll love you till I die"

       Em                           C
I can hear the bulls are coming to claim that they've been hunting
     G                         D
The son of the cowboy came to claim his daddy's right

        Em                            C
And my baby she's been crying at the thought of me dying
     G                           D                       D
She knows there's no stopping a man and his foolish pride


CHORUS:
             C
So open the gates
             G
I'm here to prove
                    D
I'm better than my father was
                       Em
And where he came from too

          C
Open the gates
             G
I'm here to ride
          D
To Hell I Go
                  Em
With daddy by my side

VERSE:
       Em
And I ain't never feared nothing
          C
That was four-legged and bucking
 G
Throw me on a hurricane
          D
And I'll ride it to the coast

              Em
You'll never know that your son
        C
Came to do what you should've done
      G
On a summer day a long time ago
       D
Top a bull named To Hell I Go


CHORUS:

VERSE:
        Em
WI'll I die out in Cheyenne
         C
With my baby there crying
       G                                D
And a belly that's been growing by the day

       Em
And I know that my son
         C
Will do what his father should've done
   G
A long, long time ago
      D
On a bull named To Hell I Go


CHORUS:
             C
So open the gates
              G
He's here to prove
                      D
He's better than his father was
                       Em
And where he came from too

          C
Open the gates
              G
He's here to ride
                D
To Hell I Go's calf
                   Em
With daddy by his side
