_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] About a [F] million stars in [C] that dark sky So high and lonesome
It can make you wanna [G] cry _ And _ drive your young blood wild
_ _ [C] And a burning rub of that northern red Three day [F] ride will get you straight [Gm] down to [G] old Vaughan Head
_ _ _ Fool's Old Toronto
_ He _ got a taste for mezcal and sweet perfume _ Didn't take long [Bbm] to get him in the back room
[G] _
_ _ All of sixteen _ First taste of the bone, hooter
_ _ [C] There's a pile of bone out on the desert floor _ [F] All that's left of it can [Gm] keep the door _
_ [G] Conqueror _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Well, I rode that beast down into the clouds Threw every draw, [F] every bolt [C] of tow
[G] That devil kept it neat _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And watch if you go down to the fire of the rope You leave little to [F] chance, nothing [Bb] to hold
[G] _
An _ old 24, _ nothing can hold me down
_ _ _ [C] Ain't gonna _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] ride no more _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Well, you crossed with the ones, you're gonna cross it again _ Something keeps you coming back to [G]
that shadow _ land
_ And so I did, for the mystery
_ [C] Yeah, that old soul still running, slamming through the night
Two-stone train, cause it's only [G] late
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Ain't gonna ride no more
Though my love is worn, my [Cm] cousin's had her [G]
Head's on straight, and that's all that matters
Lose a few moves, [Dm] ain't no [Cm] loss [G] Cause there's only one [C] border left for me to cross
Ain't gonna ride _ _ _ _ _ no _ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ [Gm] _
[G] more

_ _ Call _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] me King of [F] El Paso, my [C] advice _ [F] Learn that rope swing [Gm] deep and never die
[G] _ _ _ Ain't _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [C] gonna
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [G]
