This is a song I've sung for many years.
It's got a part you can sing along if you'd like.
[C#m]
It's a great, great song.
And I think it's [F#] sung since the pioneers [C#] were the first ones to have the hit with it.
So, so
I'm here for [A#m] Bob and Barbara.

My recording has a [B] French horn on it, but never mind.

It's one I can remember.
Remember when they had the circles and arrows and tildes and numbers?
[E] Remember Alta Vista?
[A] That wasn't that long ago.
[Am] An old cowpoke went riding down a [C] winding road in the day
[Em] A [Am] fond interest [Em] in [C] passing along his way
[Em] [Am] When all at once, my dear, [F] a red-eyed cow [Am] she saw
[F] Bowed to the ragged sky
And a book [Am] cloudy jaw
[C] If you're me, [Am] if you're you
Cold [F]
strider's knee The [Am] sky
[F] Is it too hard?
[Am] A little.
The ranch is still on fire
[C] They were fools to make his deed
[Am] For a horn so black and shiny
[C] A pair of hot red feet could feel
[Am] A bolt of fear went through [F] him
As they thumbed [Am] through the sky
[F] And he heard the cry of his coming heart
And he heard them all [Am] cry
If [C] you're me, if you're [Am] you
Cold [F] strider's knee [C] [Am] The sky
And [F] look, [Am]
their eyes have gone to [C] pieces
Their shirts all streaked with sweat
[Am] They're riding hard to catch [C] the nerve
That they are yet
[Am] Causing God to ride forever
On [F] that range up in [Am] the sky
[F] A voice is smoked to fire
As they ride on, [Am] hear their cry
If [C] you're me, if [Am] you're you
[F]
Cold strider's [C] knee
[Am] The sky
[F] As [Am]
the rider sloped on by
[C] He didn't hear her when she called his name
[Am] She wanted to save her soul
From hell, but [C] her eyes were on her reach
[Am] Then cowboy change your ways [F] today
You're with us, [Am] you'll ride
[F] Try and catch that devil's herd
Across these [Am] endless skies
If [C] you're me, if [Am] you're you
Cold [F] strider's knee [Am] The sky
Let's try it one more time
If [C] you're me, if [Am] you're you
Cold [F] strider's knee [Am] The sky
