[Verse]
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
Don't ride too slow
G                       C
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go
C                            Dm
He started his long ride in Prescott
C                         Dm
The sun was a hundred or more
C                        Dm
On down he rode at full gallop
C        G            C
Into the flat desert floor
C                        Dm
Driving the big herd to Flagstaff
C                           Dm
In Prescott the letter was there
C                        Dm
Happiness soon would be sorrow
C             G          C
Sad news the letter did bear
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
Don't go too slow
G
Ride, cowboy, ride
         C
You've a long way to go
C                             Dm
Your darlin' now lies on her deathbed
C                    Dm
Racked by fever and pain
C                        Dm
Reaching for you at her bedside
C                     G            C
At each breath she's callin' your name
C                         Dm
Forward he leaned in the saddle
C                             Dm
Pushing through mesquite and sage
C                            Dm
His head never raised for a greeting
C                 G          C
As he passed the Wickenburg stage
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
Don't ride too slow
G                       C
Tucson's a mighty long way yet to go
C                     Dm
In Phoenix he traded horses
C                        Dm
Now on the back of this roan
C                        Dm
He could see visions of Tucson
C                G            C
His darlin' and their lovely home
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
Don't ride too slow
G                            C
There's still a hundred and twenty to go
C                             Dm
In through the ranch gate he galloped
C                         Dm
And without breaking his stride
C                      Dm
He bounded out of the saddle
C                  G               C
And rushed to his sweet darlin's side
C                       Dm
Then as the dyin' girl saw him
C                      Dm
A smile came over her face
C                       Dm
Holding her hand as it tightened
C          G          C
Barely had he won the race
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
On through the blue
G
Ride, cowboy, ride
          C
She'll be waiting for you
F
Ride, cowboy, ride
C
On through the blue
G
Ride, cowboy, ride
          C        F   C
She'll be waiting for you
