[A] _ _ _ _ _ One _ night as I was [D] out riding, _ _ _ [A] _ graveyard shift midnight [E] till dawn, _ _ _
[D] _ moon was [E] bright [A] as a _ [F#m] radiant light, [D] for a letter [E] from an old friend [A] back home,
he asked [D] me why [E] do you ride [A] for your money, _ _ _ _ [D] _
why do [E] you owe for [A] short _ pay,
_ [D] you ain't getting _ [A] no when _ you're losing your [D] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [F#m] share, _ _ _
_ [D] boy you must have [E] gone crazy [A] out there,
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ he said last night I ran on [D] a journey, _ _ _ [A] she's married and she has a [E] good life,
_ _ [D] boy you sure missed [E] a try [A] when you never [F#m] came back, she's [D] the perfect _ [E] _
_ [A] professional's wife,
she asked [D] me why [C#m] does he [A] ride for his money, _ _ _ [D] why [E] does he owe [A] for short pay, _
he [D] ain't getting [E] no [A] when he's losing [D] his share,
_ [E] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] boy you must have [E] gone crazy [A] out there,
_ but [D] they've _ [E] never seen [A] the northern _ lights, [D] never _ [E] seen a hawk [F#m] on the _ _ way,
_ [D] they've never spent [E] a [A] swing in the great _
[D] divide,
_ [E] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ they [D] ain't never heard [E] old Kim Cookie [A] sing, _ _ _

_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
so he read up the last of [D] my letter,
_ _ _ [A] he tore off the stamp in [E] black gin, _ _
[D] and then Billy [E] rode [A] up to relieve [F#m] me,
he [D] just looked at [E] my letter [A] and grin, _
he asked [D] me why [E] do they ride [A] for money, _ _ _ _
[D] why do [E] they ride for [A] short _ _ _ pay,
[D] they ain't getting [Em] no [A] when they're losing [D] their _ [E] share,
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] boy they must have [E] gone crazy [A] out there,

[D] they ain't never [F#m] spent a swing [A] in the _ [D] great divide,
_ [E] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] they ain't never heard [E] old Kim Cookie [A] _
sing,
_ [F#m] _ they [D] ain't never heard [E] old Kim Cookie [A] sing.
