_ _ _ _ [C] About a [F] million stars in [C] that desert sky So high and lonesome, it can make you [G] wanna
cry _ _ Drive your young blood wild
_ _ [C] And a burning rope on that [Gm] northern ridge [C] Three [F] day ride will get you [Gm] straight down
to [G] old _ Wallace _ _ _ Pools of Toronto
_ You _ gotta taste for mezcal and sweet perfume Didn't take long to get them in the back room _ _
All sixteen, _ _ first taste of the bone _ There's _ [C] a pile of bone right on the desert floor
_ [F] All that's left of it can [Gm] keep the door
[G] _ Well _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I rode that beast down into the ground _ Threw every draw [F] and every bolt of [Bb] town
[G] That devil carried me
You _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ watch as you go down to the fire of the rope You leave little to chance, [N] nothing [Bb] to [G] hold
An _ old 24, nothing can hold me down
_ _ [C] Ain't _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ gonna [G] ride, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] well you [F] crossed the line but you're gonna cross [C] it again
_ Something keeps you coming back to [G] that shadow land
_ _ And so I did, what a mystery
_ [C] Yeah that old soul [F] stirrer, [C] slams it to the knife
Tombstone train cuts its [Gm] own [G] daylight
Ain't _ _ _ _ _ _ _
gonna ride, _ _ well my leather's worn
My cuff is tattered, head's on a string
That's all that matters, lose a few [N] moves
Ain't no [G] loss, cause there's only one border left for me to cross
[C] Ain't gonna _ _ _ ride, well I'm taking my suit and tie off _
Ain't _ _ gonna [G] ride, well _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] ain't gonna ride _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Call me King [F] of El Paso, my [C] advice
_ Learn that [F] road between [Bb] heaven and [Gm] paradise _
[G] _ _ _ [Gm] Ain't _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [G] gonna ride no more
