Ride Em Cowboy

E
Travlin' with the rodeo,
                               F#m
That's the only life I've ever known.
   B7
It started in New Mexico,
                             E
Must a been a hundered years ago.
  E
I used to be the best they'd say
                         F#m
Ridin wild horses for my pay
B7
Now I'm too old it seems
                              B7
I only ride wild horses in my dreams.

[Chorus]
                    F#m
They used to tell me
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
                               A       E
You can't make no money if you hit the ground.
               F#m
They just said,
Ride 'Em Cowboy
Don't let 'em throw you down
                    A         E
You're the toughest cowboy in town.
     A           B7                  E
Well I've always been the Rhinestone Cowboy,
A                 B7                   E
I don't care what Glen Campbell has to say.
                      B7
What am I supposed to do?

E
Midnight was the champion
                                 F#m
He's the only bronch I could not ride.
B7
Now they tell me Midnights' blind
                               E
Only rides with children for a dime.
E
Ladies used to hang around
                              F#m
I must a been a hero in their eyes,
   B7
My silver spurs are rusty now
                                E
Lord I wished I tried to settle down
