Went For A Ride Chords & Lyrics - Radney Foster

[INTRO]

[D] [G] [D] [Asus4]

[VERSE 1]
He was [D]black as the sky on a [G]moonless night
He was [D]real good with the horses, never [Asus4]reined em too tight
[D]He rode with the best, [Dsus2/F#]hell he rode with me
[G]and they got it all wrong in that [Asus4]book of history

[CHORUS]
It wasn't[G] cowboys and ponies it was [D]horses and men
It wasn't[Asus4] schoolboys and ladies it was[D] cowtowns and [Dsus2/F#]sin
and there was[G] blood on the leather and [Bm7]tears in her [D]eyes
we [D]swore at the devil and [Asus4]went for a [D]ride [D] [Asus4] [D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]We told some tales[G] he told em best
[D]real-life can always[Asus4] use a good stretch
[D]But that don't chang[Dsus2/F#]e the things we did
[G]cause the truest thing was the[Asus4] life that we lived

[CHORUS]
It wasn't[G] cowboys and ponies it was [D]horses and men
It wasn't[Asus4] schoolboys and ladies it was[D] cowtowns and [Dsus2/F#]sin
and there was[G] blood on the leather and [Bm7]tears in her [D]eyes
we [D]swore at the devil and [Asus4]went for a [D]ride

[D] [G] [D] [Asus4] [D] [Dsus2/F#] [G] [Asus4]

[VERSE 3]
[D]More than one kind of pain more than [G]one kind of theft
[D]and its bitter as the night[Asus4] sweet Jesus wept
[D]She stole my heart[Dsus2/F#] age stole the fire
[G]they stole my prairie when they[Asus4] strung all that wire

[CHORUS]
It wasn't[G] cowboys and ponies it was [D]horses and men
It wasn't[Asus4] schoolboys and ladies it was[D] cowtowns and [Dsus2/F#]sin
and there was[G] blood on the leather and [Bm7]tears in her [D]eyes
we [D]swore at the devil and [Asus4]went for a [D]ride
Lord we, [D]swore at the devil and [Asus4]went for a [D]ride
