[Intro]
G Em G
G Em C G
[Chorus]
G Am She rode a bay called Chesapeake C G Stayed on its back for fourteen weeks Am Rode all the way down to New Orleans C G Cadd9 G Searching for her man
[Verse 1]
B7 Am I was two weeks out of Franklin C G Keeping it close to the rails B7 Am I rode a stallion hard, leaving no holds barred C G Just missing the Birmingham jail B7 Am I knew Kitty was stubborn to no-'count C G But the kitten was crazy in love B7 Am She just had to know why I had to go C G Cadd9 G When she fit just like a glove
[Chorus]
G Am She rode a bay called Chesapeake C G Stayed on its back for fourteen weeks Am Rode all the way down to New Orleans C G Em G Tracking down her man
G Em C G
[Verse 2]
B7 Am She was determined to find me C G And I was just planning to hide B7 Am But she rode through hell just so she could tell me C G She needed to be by my side B7 Am She never complained about the action C G When it came down to doing the job B7 Am She could ride with the best and she was put to the test C G Cadd9 G The night 97 was robbed
[Chorus]
G Am We got away on Chesapeake C G Made Tijuana in less than a week Am Hiding and loving and learning to speak C G South of the border land Am We got away on Chesapeake C G Made Tijuana in less than a week Am Ain't going back up to New Orleans C G Em C G Staying south of the border land
