Chords with lyrics

Verse:
FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
Don't ride too slow
G+G            C majorC
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go

C majorC              DmDm
He started his long ride in Prescott
C majorC             DmDm
The sun was a hundred or more
C majorC            DmDm
On down he rode at full gallop
C majorC    G+G      C majorC
Into the flat desert floor

C majorC            DmDm
Driving the big herd to Flagstaff
C majorC              DmDm
In Prescott the letter was there
C majorC            DmDm
Happiness soon would be sorrow
C majorC       G+G     C majorC
Sad news the letter did bear

FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
Don't go too slow
G+G
Ride, cowboy, ride
     C majorC
You've a long way to go

C majorC               DmDm
Your darlin' now lies on her deathbed
C majorC          DmDm
Racked by fever and pain
C majorC            DmDm
Reaching for you at her bedside
C majorC           G+G      C majorC
At each breath she's callin' your name

C majorC             DmDm
Forward he leaned in the saddle
C majorC               DmDm
Pushing through mesquite and sage
C majorC              DmDm
His head never raised for a greeting
C majorC         G+G     C majorC
As he passed the Wickenburg stage

FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
Don't ride too slow
G+G            C majorC
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go

C majorC           DmDm
In Phoenix he traded horses
C majorC            DmDm
Now on the back of this roan
C majorC            DmDm
He could see visions of Tucson
C majorC        G+G      C majorC
His darlin' and their lovely home

FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
Don't ride too slow
G+G              C majorC
There's still a hundred and twenty to go

C majorC               DmDm
In through the ranch gate he galloped
C majorC             DmDm
And without breaking his stride
C majorC           DmDm
He bounded out of the saddle
C majorC         G+G        C majorC
And rushed to his sweet darlin's side

C majorC            DmDm
Then as the dyin' girl saw him
C majorC           DmDm
A augmentedA smile came over her face
C majorC            DmDm
Holding her hand as it tightened
C majorC     G+G     C majorC
Barely had he won the race

FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
On through the blue
G+G
Ride, cowboy, ride
     C majorC
She'll be waiting for you

FF
Ride, cowboy, ride
C majorC
On through the blue
G+G
Ride, cowboy, ride
     C majorC    FF  C majorC
She'll be waiting for you
