Ride Me Down Easy

Billy Joe Shaver


Tom: D

         D                             G
        The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
              A                          D
        The rides,they as scarce as the rain
                                                  G
        When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell
             A                      D
        And too far away from the train


[Verse 2]
         D                                  G
        Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago
               A                          D
        Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine
                                            G
        Left a long string of friends,some sheets in the wind
                  A                 D
        And some satisfied women behind


[Chorus]
          D                         G
        Hey ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down
              A                         D
        Leave word in the dust where i lay
                           G            A                    D
        Say "i'm easy come,easy go and easy to love when i stay"


[Verse 3]
          D                               G
        Left snow on the mountain,raised hell on the hill
                A                       D
        Locked horns with the devil himself
                        G
        Been a rodeo bum,a son-of-a-gun
               A                      D
        And a hobo with stars in my crown


[Chorus]
          D                         G
        Hey ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down
              A                         D
        Leave word in the dust where i lay
                           G            A                    D
        Say "i'm easy come,easy go and easy to love when i stay"
