[Verse]
Pancho Villa crossed the [C]border in the [F]year of ought six[C]teen
The people of Columbus still hear him [G]riding through their dreams
He killed [Am]seventeen civilians you could [F]hear the women scream
Blackjack [C]Pershing on a dancing horse was [G]waiting in the wings
[Cborus]
Tonight we [Am]ride, tonight we [Em]ride
We'll [F]skin ole Pancho [C]Villa, make chaps out of his [G]hide
Shoot his [Am]horse, Siete Leguas, and his [F]twenty-seven brides
Tonight we [C]ride,[F] tonight we [C]ride
[Verse]
[C]We rode for three long years till Blackjack [F]Pershing called it [C]quits
When Jackie wasn't lookin' I [G]stole his fine spade bit
It was [Am]tied upon his stallion, so I [F]rode away on it
To the [C]wild Chihuahuan desert, so [G]dry you couldn't spit
[Cborus]
Tonight we [Am]ride, you bastards [Em]dare
We'll [F]kill the wild A[C]pache for the bounty on his [G]hair
Then we'll [Am]ride into Durango, climb [F]up the whorehouse stairs
Tonight we [C]ride,[F] Tonight we [C]ride
[Interlude]
[Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[Verse]
[C]When I'm too damn old to sit a horse, I'll [F]steal the warden's [C]car
Break my ass out of this prison, leave my [G]teeth there in a jar
You don't [Am]need no teeth for kissin' gals or [F]smokin' cheap cigars
I'll [C]sleep with one eye open, 'neath [G]God's celestial stars
[Cborus]
Tonight we [Am]rock, Tonight we [Em]roll
We'll [F]rob the Juarez [C]liquor store for the Reposado [G]Gold
And if we [Am]drink ourselves to death, ain't that the [F]cowboy way to go?
Tonight we [C]ride,[F] tonight we [C]ride
[Cborus]
Tonight we [Am]fly, we're headin' [Em]west
Toward the [F]mountains and the [C]ocean where the eagle makes his [G]nest
If our [Am]bones bleach on the desert, we'll con[F]sider we are blessed
Tonight we [C]ride,[F] Tonight we [C]ride
[Outro]
[Am] [Em] [F] [C] [G]
[Am] [F]
Tonight we [C]ride,[F] tonight we [C]ride. [F] [C]
