Intro:
D A G D
[Verso 1]
D
On a horse barely half broke he whistles Laredo
G D/F# Em
On the first song he heard as a child
A D D
He's dusty but trusty and steady from all the long miles
D
His talk's somewhat slow his legs somewhat bowed
G D/F# Em
He's rich without owning a thing
A D D
But the silver in his hair the gold in the sunsets he's seen
[Refrão]
A G D D D/F# D
His home is a trail and his bed is the grass on the ground
A
And all his neighbors wear horns
G
And his best friends were born
G D/F# G/B G A
From a herd Cor--tez turned out
D
All he needs in this world
Is a dance with a pretty girl
G D/F# Em
Sometimes on Saturday night
A
A good horse to ride, live his own life
D
A soft place to lay when he dies
Instrumental:
A G D D
A G D D
[Verso 2]
D
Well he's been in a few and lost one or two
G D/F# Em
But he ain't one to hold him a grudge
A
He's rode through the snow and the four winds that blow
D
And sometimes he slept on the mud
D
And he don't give a dang about a quitter or a man
G D/F# Em
Who don't have the heart to just try
A D D
He'll stand to the end for a friend and never ask why
[Refrão]

All he needs in this world
Is a dance with a pretty girl
