The Horse I Rode In On
Corb Lund
Album: Horse Soldier! Horse Soldier!
Remember this tab is relative to the capo.
On the intro you can do the sliding or hammer-ons/pull-offs that you like,
I just straight pick every note.
Capo 4
[Intro] (Just play G till beginning of verse)

The Gshow was a big one, aCn old rodGeo
They'd been trying to hire us for a Afew years or Dso
The grCandstand was bursting, the inGfield was full
They'd run all the chucks and they'd bDucked all the bGulls
I feGlt stiff in the saddle, had been a Cyear since I'd Grode
And I'd never been on him save an Aafternoon Dlope
But Cthis was the last thing on Gmy tortured mind
As I put heels to belly and my band Dplayed the Gtime
He was a bDig sorrel gelding with a gColden streaked maGne
A siDlver mounted saddle and Chand braided rGeins
He Ghad one blue eye that was cFlear like the rGain
But the horse I rode in on felt Dnone of my pGain
(Intro)
Well Gwe made quite an entrance in Cshow business Gstyle
And ten thousand people all Awitnessed my Dsmile
But you were Cnot there among them I'm Gsorry to say
As I rode through the crowd toward the Dbig outdoor Gstage
If my Gpony was skittish with all the Cpeople Garound
And if he spooked just a little when the Aspotlight shone Ddown
It's Cnothing compared to the Gheart break and pain
That come with a love that has Dwithered in Gvain
He was a bDig sorrel gelding with a gColden streaked maGne
A siDlver mounted saddle and Chand braided rGeins
He Ghad one blue eye that was cFlear like the rGain
But the horse I rode in on felt Dnone of my pGain
(Intro)
So Gwe played through the show like CI always Gdo
I sang every one of the Alove songs for yDou
Then CI climbed right back on him and I Gspurred him away
And as the cheers and the dust from the arena did fade
I didn’t feel like no cowboy Danymore, Ganyway
He was a bDig sorrel gelding with a gColden streaked maGne
A siDlver mounted saddle and Chand braided rGeins
He Ghad one blue eye that was cFlear like the rGain
But the horse I rode in on felt Dnone of my pGain
(Intro)
