The Goodnight-Loving Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Dsus4][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Ridin' against
the wind in [G]East New [D]Mexico
His skin is dry and worn
as the Texas [A]plains
He's [D]headed where the air is thin and and
[G]the cold blue northers [D]blow
Up through the Raton Pass but he'll [A]have
to beat the early snow
[C][D]

[Verse 2]
The winter of '64 was a [G]great
many years [D]ago
When a young man went
away for the rebel [A]cause
And he [D]was branded by the war
and the [G]only life he'd [D]know
Was lookin' over his shoulder saddle
[A]bound and layin' low
[C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Now there's a [C]man on
the goodnight-loving
[D]Like Like too [C]many other
[G]men out on [D]the trail
Who found the [C]hard way when
the pushing comes [D]to shoving
He'd go [C]six feet under be[G]fore he'd go to [D]jail

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
Now there's a [D]place just north of here
where [G]they say the out[D]laws go
Where a man can leave his
name and past be[A]hind
And [D]every now and then you'll hear,
he's gone the [G]way of the buffalo
[D]And that he finally made the pass but
he [A]didn't beat the early snow
[C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
Now there's a [C]man on
the goodnight-loving
[D]Like Like too [C]many other
[G]men out on [D]the trail
Who found the [C]hard way when the
pushing comes [D]to shoving
He'd go [C]six feet under be
[G]fore he'd go to jail
[D]

[Verse 6]
He'd go [C]six feet under be[G]fore

[Outro 1]
he'd go to jail
