RIDE ME DOWN EASY  (Billy Joe Shaver)

                            Foxtrot   81

chorus

G                              G7                     C

RIDE ME DOWN EASY, LORD, RIDE ME ON DOWN

                   D                                                 G        D

LEAVE WORD IN THE DUST WHERE I LAY

                    G                    C

SAY I'M EASY COME, EASY GO

              D                                       G

AND EASY TO LOVE WHEN I STAY

                                                       G7                     C

THIS OLD HIGHWAY, SHE'S HOTTER THAN NINE KINDS OF HELL

             D                                                                 G        D

THE RIDES, THEY'RE AS SCARCE AS THE RAIN

                                 G                           G7                                    C

WHEN YOU'RE DOWN TO YOUR LAST SHUCK WITH NOTHIN' TO SEE

            D                                                    G

AND TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE TRAINS

 G                                                    G7                           C

HEY, A GOOD MONTH OF SUNDAYS AND A GUITAR AGO

                   D                                                         G         D

I HAD A TALL DRINK OF YESTERDAY'S WINE

                  G                                G7                          C

LEFT A LONG STRING OF FRIENDS, SOME SHEETS IN THE WIND

                           D                                   G

AND SOME SATISFIED WOMEN BEHIND, SO WON'T YOU....

(chorus)

                                                     G7                      C

I PUT SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN, RAISED HELL ON THE HILL

                      D                                               G

LOCKED  HORNS WITH THE DEVIL HIMSELF

              G                  G7            C  

BEING A RODEO BUM, A SON OF A GUN

                              D                                     G

AND A HOBO WITH STARS ON HIS CROWN

 (chorus)
