Mountains (G) blue along the (Em)skyline I don't (A7) envey anyone when I'm (D) riden When my feet is in my stirrups And my (Em) hawse is on the bust With his (A7) hooves a flashin lightnin In a cloud of golden (D) dust And the bawl-in of the cattle Is a (Em) com-in down the wind Then a (A7) finer life than riden Would be mighty hard to (D) find Just a (G) ridin, a (A7) ridin Spittin (D) long cracks thru the (Em) air............. Stirrin (G) up a baby (Em) cyclone Rippin (A7) up the prickly pear when I'm (D) ridin I don't need no art exhibits When the (Em) sunset does her best Painting (A7) ever-lasting glory On the moun-tains to the (D) west And your opry sounds so foolish When the (Em) night-bird starts his tune And the (A7) desserts silver mounted By the touches of the (D) moon Just a (G) ridin, a (A7) ridin Who (D) can envy kings and (Em) czars.............. When (G) the coyotes down (Em) the valley Are a (A7) singin to the stars when i'm (D) ridin When my last long trail is ended And my (Em) final bacons curled And the (A7) last great roundups finished At the home ranch of the (D) world I don't want no harps nor halos Robes nor (Em) other dressed up things Just let (A7) me ride the starry ranges On a spotted horse with (D) wings Just a (G) ridin, a (A7) ridin Nothin (D) I'd like half so (Em) well.............. As a (G) roundin up the (Em) sinners That have (A7) wondered out of hell and a (D) ridin, Just a ridin
