David Allan Coe – Ride Em Cowboy (Guitar)

E 
Travlin' with the rodeo,

                               F#m
That's the only life I've ever known.

   B7
It started in New Mexico,

                             E
Must a been a hundered years ago.

  E
I used to be the best they'd say

                         F#m
Ridin wild horses for my pay

B7
Now I'm too old it seems

                              B7
I only ride wild horses in my dreams.

                    F#m
They used to tell me

                               A       E
You can't make no money if you hit the ground.

               F#m
They just said,

                    A         E
You're the toughest cowboy in town.

     A           B7                  E
Well I've always been the Rhinestone Cowboy,

A                 B7                   E
I don't care what Glen Campbell has to say.

                      B7
What am I supposed to do?

E
Midnight was the champion

                                 F#m
He's the only bronch I could not ride.

B7
Now they tell me Midnights' blind

                               E
Only rides with children for a dime.

E
Ladies used to hang around

                              F#m
I must a been a hero in their eyes,

   B7
My silver spurs are rusty now

                                E
Lord I wished I tried to settle down
