Verse 1:
A
Well, them ol' boys in Texas chew copenhagen
A                             D
Wash it all down with that Coors
D
Ain't a bit bashful about speakin' their minds
D                                         E
They'll tell you what's theirs and what's yours
A
There's Waylon and there's Willie
A
They own about half the state
A                                D
And sing of her glories all in song
D                                 E
Talk about your lovers and your fighters
A                F#m
Wild brahma bull riders
    Bm                  E             A
The whole thing takes a holt and goes on

Chorus:
A                           E
Ride with me Jesus, help me pull this heavy load
                                  A     D5  E5
Don't let her slip, don't let her slide
A                                    E
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
                              A
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide
A         D  G  D  A
Diviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide

Verse 2:
A
Well up north it's saddle broncs and it's hockey and honkytonks
A                 D
Old Wilf Carter 78s  Yodelohohhoo
D
Dumb stuff like chores when it's twenty below
D                                    E
They're the things that a country boy hates
A
Too much damn wind and not enough whiskey
A                                  D
Drives them ol' northern boys flat wild
D                 E   A           F#m
And he many go to Hell or even Vancouver
      Bm       E          A
He'll always be Alberta's child

Don't let her slip, don't let her slide
A                                    E
You answer all our questions further down this muddy road
                              A
Old cowboys cross the Great Divide
A         D  G  D  A
