Chris LeDoux – Thank The Cowboy For The Ride (Guitar)

C                         F
Well he was pushing seven, she was barely five 

   G                                   C
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said, you wanna ride? 

    C                               F                     Dm
His boots made a funny sound 'cause they were his daddy's size 

    G                                C
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes 

         F               G               C
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk 

    F              G               C
She laughed at him every time that he talked 

    F                    G              C              F 
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile 

G                              C  
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 

C                         F  
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up 

G                         C
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck 

C                                       F            Dm
Well, he was tall and handsome, smiling cuter than before 

     G                             C
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore 

         F               G               C     
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway 

     F               G                C    
They took their time gettin' home the back way 

F               G                    C                 F  
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her to his side 

    G                          C
She thanked the cowboy for the ride 

        C                              F  
Well he loved her since a child, she'd always felt the same

        G                                       C
So they settled down and hitched their dreams together

C                                           F                 Dm
And they raised two broomstick cowboys, and one little cowboy girl

   G                                  C
To know God paints the sunsets of the world

D                                 G     
Well he's almost sixty-seven, and she'll admit to forty-nine 

         A                                     D 
He still loves her like a child, and she still feels the same 

        D                             G              Em
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye 

     A                            D 
They still saddle up from time to time 

         G               A             D  
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening 

G                  A               D
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them 

    G              A                  D                G
She never fails to say it before they go to sleep each night 

        A                                  D
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride 

        G               A                  D
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride
