Chords with lyrics
Capo 2
C majorC G+G
When I was a very young man
C majorC G+G
I was a cowboy, the best in the land
G+G G7C A7A7
But then she settled me down with a touch of her hand
G+G D MajorD
Now I'm begging you mister
C majorC G+G
Tell me if you can
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
G+G G7G7
And how much is that saddle
C majorC A7A7
And a straight shooting gun
G+G D MajorD G+G
Which way does that old pony run
C majorC G+G
Now a young girl, she don't know when she's lying
C majorC G+G
But a woman, great God, she knows how its done
G+G G7G7 C majorC A7A7
So mama before I go, there's just one thing on my mind
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
G+G G7G7
And how much is that saddle
C majorC A7A7
And a straight shooting gun
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
C majorC G+G
So this good life you know I must leave
C majorC G+G
Your new car and your color TV
G+G G7G7 C majorC A7A7
But what's riches to you, just ain't riches to me
G+G D MajorD
And if you're staying out here
C majorC G+G
Then I'm headed back east
Chorus:
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
C majorC G+G
Which way does that old pony run
G+G G7G7
And how much is that saddle
C majorC A7A7
And a straight shooting gun
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
