C When you're down to your last shuck with nothing to sell D7 G And too far away from the train. Verse 2: G C Been a good month of Sunday's and a guitar ago D7 G I had a tall drink of yesterday's wine. C Left a long string of friends, some sheets in the wind D7 G And some satisfied women behind. Chorus: G C So won't you ride me down easy Lord, ride me on down D7 G Leave word in the dust where I lay. C Say I'm easy come, easy go D7 G And easy to love when I stay. Verse 3: G C I've put snow on the mountain, raised hell on the hill D7 G Locked horns with the devil him self. C Been a rodeo bum, a son of a gun D7 G And a hobo with stars in his crown. Repeat Chorus, then chorus to fade out
