Which Way Does That Old Pony Run chords by Lyle Lovett

Capo 2

  C         G
When I was a very young man
       C G
I was a cowboy, the best in the land
           G G7C   A7
But then she settled me down with a touch of her hand
        G  D
Now I'm begging you mister
     C G
Tell me if you can


Chorus:
      C          G
Which way does that old pony run
     C    G
Which way does that old pony run
      G  G7
And how much is that saddle
      C     A7
And a straight shooting gun
    G   D     G
Which way does that old pony run

    C                               G
Now a young girl, she don't know when she's lying
     C           G
But a woman, great God, she knows how its done
     G    G7      C A7
So mama before I go, there's just one thing on my mind
   G    D    C         G
Which way does that old pony run


Chorus:
   C             G
Which way does that old pony run
   C         G
Which way does that old pony run
     G    G7
And how much is that saddle
     C      A7
And a straight shooting gun
   G    D  C G
Which way does that old pony run


     C                            G
So this good life you know I must leave
  C      G
Your new car and your color TV
        G  G7  C A7
But what's riches to you, just ain't riches to me
            G  D
And if you're staying out here
      C   G
Then I'm headed back east


Chorus:
      C          G
Which way does that old pony run
   C       G
Which way does that old pony run
      G  G7
And how much is that saddle
      C    A7
And a straight shooting gun
   G    D     C    G
