Good Horses To Ride
INTRO: C G Am G F
C G
Old Tut was a cowboy I knew years ago
Am G F
Could put a stretch in a story like a 40 foot rope
C G
Young and wide-eyed I believed every word
Am G F
As he rambled thru the canyons and stampeded herds
G
Swore there were still Comanches in them breaks to the south
F
He'd seen good hands ride in there that never rode out
INTRO
C G
He had a horse he called Dollar that twice saved his life
Am G F
He lost him to Jim Shoulders playin' poker one night
C G
When I turned 18 I packed up and left home
Am G F G
Tut was pretty old back then and by now he's long gone
CHORUS:
Dm Am
But I've heard it said that old cowboys don't die
F
They get put out to pasture way up in the sky
Dm Am
So if God's got a Heaven for old cowboy legends
F
I hope the grass is greener on the other side
Dm G C
And He's got good horses to ride
INTRO
C G
Now the folks back home would tell ya Tut was just crazy and old
Am G F
But I still believe in Conquistador gold
C G
And those memories look like a mirage in the distance
Am G F
Starin' out from this prison of urban existence
G
So I saddle up and go back now and then
F
To remember who I was and just forget where I am
SOLO
C G
Now the concrete and steel they spread out like a plague
Am G F
Consumin' the rivers, the mountains and the plains
C G
And one of these days it'll all be gone
Am G F G
But somewhere that spirit will always live on
CHORUS:
Dm Am
'Cause I've heard it said that old cowboys don't die
F
They get put out to pasture way up in the sky
Dm Am
If God's got a Heaven for old cowboy legends
F
I hope the grass is greener on the other side
Dm G Am G
And He's got good horses to ride
Dm G C G Am G F
Yeah He's got good horses to ride
C G Am G F
A few good horses to ride
C G Am G F
A few good horses to ride
INTRO
