Chords with lyrics
verse 1
A augmentedA G+G
I am an old cowboy
D MajorD
I don't ride much no more
A augmentedA G+G
I came to this valley
D MajorD
right after the war
B minorBm G+G
and I used to shoe horses
D MajorD
and there's some saddles I built
A augmentedA G+G
and I've rode after cattle
D MajorD
all over these hills
verse 2
A augmentedA G+G
Started out at the pitchfork
D MajorD
when I was thirteen
A augmentedA G+G
Riding young horses
D MajorD
riding my dreams
B minorBm G+G
and them old hands they taught me
D MajorD
all it takes is some nerve
A augmentedA G+G
just throw a leg over and ride what you ride
D MajorD
for all that it's worth
Bridge 1
A augmentedA G+G
Some folks regret
D MajorD
the lives that they lead
B minorBm G+G
they stare out the window
D MajorD
they yearn to be free

I live the life
B minorBm G+G
that was given to me
D MajorD
and I threw a leg over

and rode it for all it was worth

Yes I rode it

for all it was worth
verse 3
A augmentedA G+G
I was blue eyed and windburned
D MajorD
I was every girl's dream
A augmentedA G+G
Wild steers on the mountain
D MajorD
where the butt brush was green
B minorBm G+G
and though some days were dark ones
D MajorD
when that old north wind blew
A augmentedA G+G
I just gathered my reigns
D MajorD
and I rode it through
verse 4
A augmentedA G+G
Time comes creeping
D MajorD
to wipe out your tracks
A augmentedA G+G
but if your trail's been a good one
D MajorD
you don't mind looking back
B minorBm G+G
Dreams are like horses
D MajorD
they roam wild on the earth
A augmentedA G+G
catch one and ride it
D MajorD
for all that it's worth

that was given to me
