Verso 1:
D
From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming
G D
Where life's wooly and wild
D
Came a Navy brat in a cowboy hat
E7 A
And that Copenhagen smile
D
And from buckin' broncs to honky tonks
G G/F# Em
He always sang a cowboy song
D B7
We were much too young, havin' too much fun
G A D
As we all sang along
Refrão:
G D
We sang Life's a Highway
G D
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
G D B7
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
E7 A
Pull your hat down tight and just LeDoux it!
D
When that whistle blows and the crowd explodes
G G/F# E
And them pickup men are at your side
D A D
They tell you good ride cowboy, good ride
Verso 2: (Change key to E):
E
From gold buckles to gold records
A E
Once again he was spinnin' 'round
E
Took the whole world on
F7 B
And he turned us on to that Western Underground
E
And from Bareback Jack to This Cowboy's Hat
A A/G# F#m
His songs were stronger than his pain
E C7
He would not slow down from town to town
A B E
Like children running thru the rain
Refrão (2x)
D
I bet he crossed that river Jordan
G
With Saint Peter on the other side
D A D G
Singin' Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride!
D A D
Say Good Ride Cowboy, Good Ride!
