Paul Davis - Ride Em Cowboy Chords

C/G
Traveling with the rodeo
C7                            Dm7
It's the only life I'll ever know
G                       
It started in New Mexico
G7                               C/G
Must have been a thousand years ago

C/G 
I used to be the best they say
C7                                  Dm7
At riding young wild horses for my pay
G
But now I'm much too old it seems
G7                                C/G
I only ride wild horses in my dreams

They used to tell me

[Chorus:]
Dm7          G
Ride em, cowboy
Dm7             G
Don't let em throw you down
Dm7               G
You can't make no money
       G7          C/G
If you hit the ground
Dm7                  G
They said, ride em cowboy
Dm7            G
Don't let em throw you down
G7                             C/G
You're the toughest cowboy in town

Dm7        G               C/G
I used to be a traveling cowboy
Dm7            G                 C/G
But now there's no place left to go
E7                    Am
What am I supposed to do
D7                          G7
Seems I'm left out in the cold

[Chorus:]

C/G                         
Old Midnight was a champion
C7                             Dm7
He's the only bronc I couldn't ride
G                                
But now I hear old Midnight's blind
G7                                   C/G
And rides the little children for a dime

C/G
Ladies used to hang around
C7                                Dm7
I must have been a hero in their eyes
G                         
My silver spurs are rusty now
G7                               C/G
Lord, I wish I'd tried to settle down

They used to tell me

[Chorus:]
