Intro   D Dsus4 D Dsus2


Well the young cowboy in a[G]small Texas[D]town 
Walkin with his buddies to the[A]rodeo[D]grounds
When a girl on a horse caught[G]him by[D]surprise
With her long brown hair and her[A]bright silver[D]eyes
Well she told him her name and she[G]gave him a[D]grin
Then she kicked her pony and rode[A]off like the[D]wind
Well he couldn't take his eyes off as[G]she rode[D]away
And he had no idea what she[A]started that[D]day

Chorus:
And it'll be[G]hard livin this[D]way but I[A]know somehow I'll be O[D]K
What I'm[G]tryin to say is for the[D]rest of my [G]days[G/F#][Em] 
I'll miss the[D]pretty girl[A]ridin the[D]bay

REPEAT SAME CHORDS AS 1ST VERSE

A short four years later in an old Chevy truck
Singin along to Navajo rug
Holdin hands sittin close both feelin fine
Yeah ridin along drinkin Wild Island wine
The time had past and we both felt the same
So she stood beside me and she took my name 
But it didn't take long before the love was all gone
So she gave back my name and she broke up our home

Chorus x 2

I miss the[D]pretty girl[A]ridin the[D]bay
