CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:   C    G    Am    G    F  
My Csaddle don't hold me like Gyou do
I never Amheard my old Ghorse speak a Fword
But Clately we Gtalk all the FtimeC  
My eyes they don't shine like they Gused to
The Amcircuit ain't Gworth it no Fmore
Come Cmorning I'll Gleave it beFhind
CHORUS:
And I'll Cride on the 'plane
GFaster than the prairie Fwind
And I'll Cride on the 'plane
'Til I'm Gback in your arms aFgain
I'm packing it Dmin for this Fold Gcowboy's CdreamG  Am  C  F  
I Cset out, a young man on Gfire
Threw a Amrope in some Gbig rodeFos
But everyCthing that I Gcaught I let Fgo
'Til Cyou stole my pony in GHouston
There's not a Amsecond you ain't Gbeen on my Fmind
CSome things are Geasy to Fhold
CHORUS:
And I'll Cride on the 'plane
GFaster than the prairie Fwind
And I'll Cride on the 'plane
'Til I'm Gback in your arms aFgain
I'm packing it Dmin for this Fold Gcowboy's Amdream
BRIDGE:
And I reaFlise 
I took the Clong way home
The Glong road back to Amyou
But I've come to the Cscene
On this old silver D7screen
Where the Fsunset leads to Bb7you
INTERLUDE:   C    G    Am    C  F  
CHORUS:
Now I Cride on this 'plane
GFaster than the prairie Fwind
And I Cride on this 'plane
'Til I'm Gback in your arms aFgain
I'm packing it Dmin 
And it's Fnot just a Am7dream
It's time to give D7in
To this Fold Gcowboy's Cdream
