Lyrics/Chords
[Em]True you ride the finest horse, [C]I've ever seen,
[D]Standing sixteen one or two, [Em]with eyes wild and green.
[Em]You ride the horse so well, h[C]ands light to the touch
[D]I could never go with you no matter how I wa[Em]nted to.
CHORUS (X2)
[Em]Ride On,
[C]See you,
[D]I could never go with you no matter how I wa[Em]nted to.
When you ride into the night, without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time.
I turned to face an empty space. where you used to lie
And look for the spark that lights the night through a teardrop in my eye.
Chorus (X2)
You can now play the intro/outro solo or continue fingerpicking.
Either way the song now fades to a close.
Any suggestions/advice post it on the forum.
