#------------------------------------------------------------------------------## ****************** RIDE ME DOWN EASY ****************** written by Billy Joe Shaver performed by Waylon Jennings. Capo on the 2nd fret. Verse 1: D G The highway she's a hotter than nine times the hell A D The rides are as scarce as the rain G When your down to your last shuck with nothing to sell A D And too far away from the train Verse 2: D G Been a good month of Sunday's and a guitar ago A D Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine G Left a long string of friends,some sheets in the wind A D And some satisfied woman behind Chorus: D G Hey ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down A D Leave word in the dust where i lay G Say i'm easy come,easy go A D Easy to love when i stay Verse 3: D G I've put snow on the mountain,raised hell on the hill A D I locked horns with the devil himself G Been a rodeo fool,a son of a gun A D And a hobo with stars in his crown Chorus. D G Ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down Thanks to David M. Potter for the lyrics.
