The Perfect Strangers


Tom: G

G Am C D

[Verse 1]

   G                                  Am
He spent his days with horses and his nights with Rosalee
   C                                 D
He spent his pay on whiskey that was made in Tennessee
   G                           Am
As I was growing up he spent a lot of time with me
         C                             D
When I’d ask him about women he'd just grin
         C          D               C    D     G
He'd say son I know horses like the back of my hand


[Chorus]

         Em
He'd say some were born to run
          Bm
Some will stomp you just for fun
    C                 D              G
And some have got the devil in their eyes
        Em
There's some that you can trust
          Bm
Some will leave you in the dust
        C                             D
And the wild ones that shake you up inside
           C        D          G
But you'll always remember the ride

[Verse 2]

      G
Like him I’ve rode some horses
           Am
Some were fast and some were slow
      C
I've known my share of women
              D
I've seen them come I’ve seen them go
    G                              Am
The horses I could handle but the women got me throw’d
      C                               D
Now i smile when I remember that old man
            C             D               C    D       G
Because he knew more than horses like the back of his hand

[Chorus]

         Em
He'd say some were born to run
          Bm
Some will stomp you just for fun
    C                 D              G
And some have got the devil in their eyes
        Em
There's some that you can trust
          Bm
Some will leave you in the dust
        C                             D
And the wild ones that shake you up inside
           C        D          G
But you'll always remember the ride

[Chorus]

         Em
He'd say some were born to run
          Bm
Some will stomp you just for fun
    C                 D              G
And some have got the devil in their eyes
        Em
There's some that you can trust
          Bm
Some will leave you in the dust
        C                             D
And the wild ones that shake you up inside
           C        D          G
But you'll always remember the ride
            C        D          G
Yeah you'll always remember the ride
