Ride 'Em Cowboy
Capo 1
E
Travlin' with the rodeo,
F#m
That's the only life I've ever known.
B7
It started in New Mexico,
E
Must a been a hundered years ago.
E
I used to be the best they'd say
F#m
Ridin wild horses for my pay
B7
Now I'm too old it seems
B7
I only ride wild horses in my dreams.
Chorus:
F#m
They used to tell me
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
A E
You can't make no money if you hit the ground.
F#m
They just said,
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
A E
You're the toughest cowboy in town.
A B7 E
Well I've always been the Rhinestone Cowboy,
A B7 E
I don't care what Glen Campbell has to say.
B7
What am I supposed to do?
E
Midnight was the champion
F#m
He's the only bronch I could not ride.
B7
Now they tell me Midnights' blind
E
Only rides with children for a dime.
E
Ladies used to hang around
F#m
I must a been a hero in their eyes,
B7
My silver spurs are rusty now
E
Lord I wished I tried to settle down.
