before we started recording and
For some reason or another Robbie was playing his twang guitar
[Bm] And [D] _
_ _ we were [Bm] doing a cowpoke went riding [D] out on dark and windy day
And the Jim said I got lyrics for that.
I got lyrics for that and he had
[E] _ _ Riders on the storm _ _ _

[E] _ I
Say [Em] wait, okay.
That's great man riders on the storm
We can't but we can't do to we can't do Vaughn Monroe
_ Old cowpoke run riding out one dark and windy day.

[A] There's nothing to it.
[D] Watch this on the bass guitar, and I don't know what the hell he did
He had to go through machinations like turning his wrist up virtually upside down inside out trying to play it
I said, oh, [G]
I'm sorry, man
But it sounds so [B] good and it's so [A] easy on the [E] keyboard that you got to play [A] this anyway, okay
