Slow Rider Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I r[A]ide[D] an old man,
he's [Dm]on the we[D]ary side
And [A]I'm a saddle -trout,
about [D]to cross the great divide
Where there's [A]grass in the valley
and wa[D]ter in the draw
And a 40 [A]-pound saddle
won't [D]make us both raw
Slow [A]rider, slow rider,
move [D]on a little more
The sky [A]boss is waitin'
at the [D]big ranch house door
I can't help but miss him the
daughters that I had.
[A]One went to Denver,
the [D]other went bad.
My [A]young wife died in [D]a pool room fire,
so I [A]tried to keep singing
from [D]morning till night.
Slow [A]rider, slow rider,
move [D]on a little more
The [A]sky boss is waiting
at the [D]big ranch house door
Whenever I die,
take my saddle from the wall
[A]Strap it on Snuffy,
lead him [D]out of the stall
[A]Throw me over his back
and [D]turn him toward the west
He [A]knows how to take me
to the [D]spot I love best
Slow [A]rider, slow rider,
move [D]on a little more
The [A]sky boss is waiting
at the [D]big ranch house door
The sky [A]boss is waiting
at the [D]big ranch [Em]house door.
