Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)


A augmentedA
I ride an Old Paint

And lead old Dan
E MajorE
I'm goin' to Montana
            A augmentedA
For to throw the Hoolahan

They feed in the coulee

And they water in the draws
E MajorE
Their tails are all matted
             A augmentedA
And their backs are all raw

A augmentedA
Goodbye Old Paint

I'm leaving Cheyenne
E MajorE
Goodbye Old Paint

I'm a leaving Cheyenne
A augmentedA
I'm leaving Cheyenne
       E MajorE
I'm going to Montana
A augmentedA
Goodbye Old Paint
   E MajorE     A augmentedA
I'm a leaving Cheyenne

A augmentedA
Now old Bill Jones

Had two daughters and a son
E MajorE
The son went to Denver
            A augmentedA
And the daughter went wrong

His wife, she got killed

In a bar room fight
E MajorE
But, still he keeps a singing
          A augmentedA
From morning till night

A augmentedA
Goodbye Old Paint

I'm leaving Cheyenne
E MajorE
Goodbye Old Paint

I'm a leaving Cheyenne
A augmentedA
I'm leaving Cheyenne
       D MajorD
I'm going to Montana
A augmentedA
Goodbye Old Paint
   E MajorE     A augmentedA
I'm a leaving Cheyenne

-Instrumental Break-

A augmentedA
Now, when I die

Take my saddle from the wall
E MajorE
Put it on the pony
           A augmentedA
Lead him out of his stall

Tie my bones to his back

Head our faces toward the west
E MajorE
We'll ride the prairie
         A augmentedA
That we love the best

A augmentedA
Ride her out Old Paint

I'm a leaving Cheyenne
E MajorE
And goodbye Old Paint

I'm leaving Cheyenne
A augmentedA
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
       D MajorD
I'm going to Montana
A augmentedA
Goodbye Old Paint
  E MajorE    A augmentedA
I'm leaving Cheyenne

Goodbye Old Paint

Goodbye Old Paint
   E MajorE    A augmentedA
I'm a leaving Cheyenne
