[Verse 1]
G#When we met 
you F#thought that I was shined and reC#fined.
G#About the time you ran to tell your F#mother 
your favourite colour turned C#black.
F#I walked through fire
with my G#own kind of cross.
I C#tried to feel like Jesus F#did.
F#But you're someone that I just G#can't forgive.
[Chorus]
C#So ride G#on. Ride F#on little C#darling.
C#I want to see your G#grey hair
F#shine like silver in the C#sun.
C#Ride G#on. Ride F#on longtime C#sweetheart.
C#We done beat this damn G#horse to death.
So take your F#new one
and C#ride on.
[Verse 2]
G#Well when you said you wanted F#up
that's when I knew I wanted C#down.
G#With all your nightshades at F#tan
all I saw was C#brown.
F#And when you found that my G#hoof was split
you know you C#beat it
just like a F#glove.
F#And that's why it's G#time.
[Chorus]
C#To ride G#on. Ride F#on little C#darling.
C#I want to see your G#grey hair
F#shine like silver in the C#sun.
C#Ride G#on. Ride F#on longtime C#sweetheart.
C#We done beat this damn G#horse to death.
So take your F#new one
and C#ride on.
[Chorus]
C#Ride on. G#Ride on F#little darC#ling.
C#I want to see your G#grey hair
F#shine like silver in the C#sun.
C#Ride G#on. Ride F#on longtime C#sweetheart.
C#We done beat this damn G#horse to death.
So take your F#new one
and C#ride on.
