1.            Ride, I used to jump my horse and ride,

                                      Am

    I had a six gun at my side.

                                                    E

    I was so handsome, women cried,

                                              Am

    and I got shot, but I never died.     + Abm ~   + Am

2. I could play, if I’d do every thing he'd say,

                                                Am

    girls seem to just get in his way,

                                                            E

    those days we weren't considered fun,

                                             Am

    a cowboy's work is never done.

    He'd fight crime all the time, he'd always win,

                  E                                                   Am

     till his mom would break it up and call him in.

                   F                     G                       Am

    He was tough, he was hard, but he was kind,

                       Dm                                                            E      - E7

    and he was loved, ‘cause guys like him were hard to find.

3. Ride, I’d like to ride again some day,

                                            Am      

    I think I still know how to play,

                                                    E

    I play games now, but it's not fun - - -
