[Intro 1]
[D][C][D][C]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I [C]bought him down in Houston
from a cowboy friend of mine
[G]He said he'd named him Rio,
got him on the borderline
"He's [C]red just like the river,
and he runs as free and wild
A good [Em]horse don't get no better,
he can [D]weather every mile."
He said, [C]"Why don't you take him
out past the [G]lake and [D]let him run?
You'll [C]come to know that red turns
to gold in a [D]setting sun."

[Verse 2]
Every [G]valley and mountain,
I [Em]ride up and down them
I [D]go wherever Rio [C]goes
From the [G]top to the bottom
I [Em]don't try to stop him
I just [D]go wherever Rio goes
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
When we [C]came up on the river,
I could tell the horse had changed
There was [G]something 'bout that water
Like it was running through his veins
I'll [C]never understand it,
how he knew just what to do
In the [Em]shadows of the darkness, hell,
you [D]couldn't see the moon
And [C]I don't believe that Rio could
see each [D]step he'd take
[C]But sure as the rain,
he finds his way to the [D]riverbank

[Verse 4]
Every [G]valley and mountain,
I [Em]ride up and down them
I [D]go wherever Rio [C]goes
From the [G]top to the bottom
I [Em]don't try to stop him
I just [D]go wherever Rio goes
[C][D][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Oh, he said
[C]"Why don't you take him out past
the lake and [D]let him run?"
And [C]I came to find my own peace
of mind with the [D]rising sun

[Verse 6]
Every [G]valley and mountain,
I [Em]ride up and down them
I [D]go wherever Rio [C]goes
From the [G]top to the bottom
I [Em]don't try to stop him
I just [D]go wherever Rio [C]goes[Am]
[G]Every

[Verse 7]
[Em]trail, every turn, every [D]lesson I learned
I [C]followed my heart and his soul
So [Am]I go
I just [C]go [D]wherever [C]Rio[D] goes
