Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Verse 1:
D G
He was black as the sky on a moonless night
D A
He was real good with the horses, never reined em too tight
D G
He rode with the best, hell he rode with me
D A
and they got it all wrong in that book of history
Chorus:
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G D
and there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
A D
we swore at the devil and went for a ride
Verse 2:
D G
We told some tales he told em best
D A
real-life can always use a good stretch
D G
but that don't change the things we did
D A
cause the truest thing was the life that we lived
Chorus:
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and Ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G D
and there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
A D
we swore at the devil and went for a ride
Verse 3:
D G
More than one kind of pain more than one kind of theft
D A
and its bitter as the night sweet Jesus wept
D G
She stole my heart age stole the fire
D A
they stole my prairie when they strung all that wire
Chorus:
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and Ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G D
and there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
A D
we swore at the devil and went for a ride
D A D
Lord we, swore at the devil and a-went for a ride Last updated:
