[Intro]
G Riding with the wind G Asus2/G G She's come and gone again
[Verse 1]
G Some say she came from Georgia A7 Some say from Tennessee D But there never was another like my old blue mule G Lord knows there'll never be G She could jump right over a mountain A7 She could outrun a diesel train D Her mother was that blue ox, babe G She was born in the eye of a hurricane
[Verse 2]
G And the only race my blue mule ran A7 Was down in Tennessee D Against Molly and the Tenbrooks G All the people came to see G Now Tenbrooks was the favorite A7 People said I was a fool D Riding high, wide and handsome G On my pretty blue mule
[Chorus]
D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule G Riding with the wind A7 She's come and gone again D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule
[Instrumental]
G A7 D G
[Verse 3]
G Well around the track like a whirlpool A7 Old Molly took the lead D Then Tenbrooks nosed on out ahead G Boys, there was a wild stampede G Coming into the final lap A7 Neck and neck it was a duel D My blue mule started flying G Which was against the rules
[Instrumental]
G A7 D G
[Verse 4]
G When we hit the finish line A7 For the very last time around D I swear my blue mule she came out in front G Fifty feet from the ground G The crowd was cheering Tenbrooks A7 It was a sight to see D But overhead and out of sight G Was my old blue mule and me
[Chorus]
D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule G Riding with the wind A7 She's come and gone again D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule
[Instrumental]
G A7 D G
[Verse 5]
G Well she never knew that race was run A7 She never came back down D She won that race in outer space G Not on solid ground G So when you hear a storm a-raging A7 And you hear a mighty wail D It's me riding on my old blue mule G With lighting stinging her tail
[Chorus]
D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule G Riding with the wind A7 She's come and gone again D G Hey, hey, hey blue mule
[Outro]
D G Ride on, blue mule D G Ride on, blue mule
