Went For A Ride

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 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 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 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 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 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
