Verse 1:

 D MajorD         *    G+G
About the time that I came around

      D MajorD           *      G+G
He'd grown tired, his health was headed southbound

      D MajorD        D/C#
He was slow climbing in the saddle

  B minorBm     A augmentedA      E minorEm
But once he was up he could fly

        A augmentedA
Lord, he could fly

Verse 2:

      D MajorD       *     G+G
He told me stories 'bout California gold

       D MajorD       *     G+G
Working with Shorty in that West Texas cold

    D MajorD        D/C#
He was rough as a cop, tougher than nails

  B minorBm       A augmentedA         E minorEm
But when he talked about her he would cry

       A augmentedA
Oh, how he'd cry

Chorus:

   G+G       B minorBm     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray

    G+G       B minorBm       A augmentedA
And how actions speak louder than any words you may say

  G+G      B minorBm        A augmentedA      D MajorD
And like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life

  G+G        B minorBm   A augmentedA
To everything that he ever said

    E minorEm
Oh, and though he's long gone

  A augmentedA             D MajorD  *  G+G
I'm still out here ridin' with Red

Interlude:
D MajorD * G+G

Verse 2:

    D MajorD        *       G+G
I never liked or learned too much from school

         D MajorD      *       G+G
He taught me the hard knocks and the golden rule

    D MajorD      D/C#
How to chew, hot to spit

   B minorBm     A augmentedA        E minorEm
Work hard, never quit, he gave me money

              A augmentedA
So I could spend it on the girls

Chorus:

   G+G       B minorBm     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray

    G+G       B minorBm       A augmentedA
And how actions speak louder than any words you may say

  G+G      B minorBm        A augmentedA      D MajorD
And like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life

  G+G        B minorBm   A augmentedA
To everything that he ever said

    E minorEm
Oh, and though he's long gone

  A augmentedA             G+G  B minorBm  A augmentedA
I'm still out here ridin' with Red

Interlude:
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA

Chorus 2:

   G+G       B minorBm     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray

    G+G       B minorBm       A augmentedA
And how actions speak louder than any words you may say

  G+G      B minorBm        A augmentedA      D MajorD
And like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life

  G+G        B minorBm   A augmentedA
To everything that he ever said

     E minorEm        A augmentedA
I'll keep singin' his song

    E minorEm        A augmentedA
So his memory lives on

    E minorEm
Oh, and though he's long gone

  A augmentedA             G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA
I'm still out here ridin' with Red

      E minorEm  D MajorD  A augmentedA
Ridin' with Red

Outro:
G+G  D MajorD  A augmentedA
E minorEm D MajorD  A augmentedA
