                  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
She knows there's no stopping a man a
                 D
nd 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

And I ain't never feared nothing
That was four-legged and bucking
Throw me on a hurricane
And I'll ride it to the coast
You'll never know that your son
Came to do what you should've done
On a summer day a long time ago
Top a bull named To Hell I Go

Chorus

Well, I died out in Cheyenne
With my baby there crying
And a belly that's been growing by the day
And I know that my son
Will do what his father should've done
A long, long time ago
On a bull named To Hell I Go

Chorus:
So open the gates
He’s here to prove
He’s better than his father was
And where he came from, too
So open the gates
He’s here to ride
To Hell I Go’s calf
With daddy by his side
