******************** RIDE ME DOWN EASY ********************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.



Verse 1:
         D                             G
	The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell
              A                          D
	The rides,they as scarce as the rain
                                                  G
	When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell
             A                      D
	And too far away from the train


Verse 2:
         D                                  G
	Been a good month of Sundays 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 women 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            A                    D
	Say "i'm easy come,easy go and easy to love when i stay"


Verse 3:
          D                               G
	Left snow on the mountain,raised hell on the hill
                A                       D
	Locked horns with the devil himself
                        G
	Been a rodeo bum,a son-of-a-gun
               A                      D
	And a hobo with stars in my crown


Chorus.
