Ridin Them Colts

Intro 
E A E D A E 


[Verso 1]
 
N.C.       E         A          E 
Damned old cowboy you're broken again 
    E                 A             
Just a quiver and a change on the wind 
C#m                                A          E 
And you're pullin' out leather and cussin' in vain 
   A                           
Tryin' to stand through the pain 

N.C.          E           A          E 
Damned old buckskin all full of the fire 
    E                 A             
She's like moonlight aglow on the wire 
C#m                     A          E 
Soft in the round corral gentle and light 
   A                      E 
Then she decides to fight 
 


[Refrão]
 
A                E                C#m      
And all that you are comes down to horses 
A               E                          E 
Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces 
A                    E                         C#m         
Sometimes you're the bottle that holds lightin' bolts 
A                E               
But you'll be a dead man if you don't quit ridin' them colts

[Verso 2]
 
N.C.       E         A          E 
One good woman and two little boys 
    E                 A              
Still its horses that bring you true joy 
    C#m                     A          E 
Now you're down on your back again perkeset high 
   A                                E 
Stoned like the look in your eye

And all that you are comes down to horses 
A               E                          E 
Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces 
A                    E                        C#m         
Sometimes you're the bottle that holds lightin' bolts 
A                E                                         A 
But you'll be a dead man if you don't quit ridin' them colts

[Ponte]
 
G#m                    A           E 
Man can you feel that burn in your shoulder 
      A                                          E 
When will you realize that you're gettin' older

Old childhood dreams and unexplained forces 
A                    E                         C#m         
Sometimes you're the bottle that holds lightin' bolts

But you'll be a dead man if you don't quit ridin' them colts
