Standard (EADGBE)

I’M RIDING ALONG

SINGING THE SAME OLD COWBOY SONG

THAT’S BEEN SUNG A HUNDRED TIMES BEFORE

AIN’T GOT NOTHING BUT MY NAME

AND I’M THE ONLY MAN I KNOW TO BLAME

 BUT I’M LIVING, I’M HAPPY AND I’M FREE

JUST LISTEN TO THE WIND BLOW

 LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW

SAND OVER MY TRAIL

I GOT MY SADDLE ON THE GROUND

 AND THAT OLD MOON HE CAN STILL BE FOUND

HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES

(SOLO ON THE CHORUS)

I LIKE THINGS IN LIFE LIKE A PRAIRIE BREEZE

A BIG STOUT HORSE BETWEEN MY KNEES

JUST RIDING ALONG, JUST BEING ME

AND WHEN I DIE, LET ME DIE WITH A DREAM IN MY MIND

A SMILE ON MY FACE AND NO TROUBLE BEHIND

 AND NO CROSS ON MY GRAVE TO MARK MY RESTING PLACE

JUST LISTEN TO THE WIND BLOW

 LET IT BLOW, LET IT BLOW

SAND OVER MY TRAIL

I GOT MY SADDLE ON THE GROUND

 AND THAT OLD MOON HE CAN STILL BE FOUND

HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES

WON’T YOU BURY ME WITH MY CHAPS ON

 AND MY SIX GUN STRAPPED TO MY SIDE

SO I CAN WATCH THE MOON HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES

HIDING IN THE DESERT SKIES (X3)
