      G
I was staying at the Marriott,
     C
with Jesus and John Wayne
      G
I was waiting for a chariot,
          D       C     G
they were waiting for a train

The sky was full of carrion,
      Em
"I'll take the mazuma"
     Am
Said Jesus to Marion,
            D
"that's the 3:10 to Yuma

   G          C D
My ride's here  4x

G C D G  C

    G
The Houston sky was changeless,
   C
we galloped through bluebonnets
      G
I was wrestling with an angel,
         D       C    G
you were working on a sonnet

You said, "I believe the seraphim,
     Em
will gather up my pinto
    Am
And carry us away, Jim,
           D
across the San Jacinto"

   G          C D
My ride's here  4x


Em                     G
Shelley and Keats were out in the street,
    D                   Em
and even Lord Byron was leaving for Greece
                          G
While back at the Hilton, last but not least,
D                      C
Milton was holding his sides
             Em
Saying, "You bravos had better be,
D
ready to fight
         Em                    Am       D
Or we'll never get out of East Texas, tonight
    Em                    Em6
The trail is long and the river is wide,
       Am Am7 D7

      G
I was staying at the Westin,
      C
I was playing to a draw
     G
When in walked Charlton Heston,
         D       C      G
with the Tablets of the Law

He said, "It's still the Greatest Story",
         Em
I said, "Man, I'd like to stay
        Am
But I'm bound for glory,
    D
I'm on my way

   G          C D
My ride's here  14x
