[Verse 1]
[Bm]On a small Misso[D]uri farm

[Bm]War broke out [D]between the states
[A]And they joi[D]ned up with Quantrill
And it was [Bm]over in Clay [F#m]County

learned to [D]kill[G][D]

Keep on [Bm]riding, [A]riding, rid[G]ing

[Em]'Til you [G]clear your [D]names

[Verse 4]
Keep on [Bm]riding, [A]riding, rid[G]ing

[Verse 6]
They [Bm]rode against the rail[D]roads
[A]And they [D]rode again[A]st the bank[D]s
