Thank The Cowboy For The Ride chords by Chris Ledoux

Chords with lyrics

C majorC             FF
Well he was pushing seven, she was barely five
  G+G                  C majorC
He rode up on his broomstick horse and said, you wanna ride?
  C majorC                FF           DmDm
His boots made a funny sound 'cause they were his daddy's size
  G+G                C majorC
His hat keep slippin' down below his eyes
     FF        G+G        C majorC
And they rode off in the sunset down the sidewalk
  FF       G+G        C majorC
She laughed at him every time that he talked
  FF          G+G       C majorC       FF
His two front teeth were missin' but he had the cutest smile
G+G               C majorC
She thanked the cowboy for the ride

C majorC             FF
Well he was seventeen the next time he rode up
G+G             C majorC
She'd never seen inside a pickup truck
C majorC                    FF      DmDm
Well, he was tall and handsome, smiling cuter than before
   G+G               FF
He'd grown up to fit them boots he wore
     FF        G+G        C majorC
And they rode off in the sunset down the highway
   FF        G+G        C majorC
They took their time gettin' home the back way
FF        G+G          C majorC         FF
Later on in the front porch swing he pulled her by his side
  G+G             C majorC
She thanked the cowboy for the ride

Key Change to D MajorD
D                 G+G
Well he's almost sixty-seven, and she'll admit to fourty-nine
     A augmentedA                   D MajorD
He still loves her like a child, and she still feels the same
    D MajorD               G+G       E minorEm
Well he smiles a little slower at the twinkle in her eye
   A augmentedA              D MajorD
They still saddle up from time to time
     G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD
And they ride off in the sunset in the evening
G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
Stars as bright as if they'd never seen them
  G+G       A augmentedA         D MajorD        G+G
She never fails to say it before they go to sleep each night
    A augmentedA        G+G         D MajorD
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride
    G+G        A augmentedA         D MajorD
Well, I love you cowboy, thank you for the ride
