Ride My Pony Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][D]
[G][D][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Grey [D]and
chalky like [G]my [D]grandaddy's skin
[C]The sky was cold and lonely
and [D]closing [G]in
All the trees looked like stubble,
on winter's [C]chin
And I [D]think I'll ride my [G]pony

[Verse 2]
[G]
There's a wreath of
bones and ribbon
Hanging on my cabin [C]door
Lusty appetites have ravaged all
of [D]summer[C]'s [G]stores
And the fear of death don't even
come to visit me [D]no [C]more
So I'll [D]think I'll ride my [G]pony

[Verse 3]
[D]Ride me some place,
lonesome has no [C]mean[G]ing
[C]Ride me somewhere,
I ain't stayed too [G]long[D]
Riding down a mountainside
ca[Em]reening
[C]Ridin' up some open cut,
with [G]fate my [D]only song
I think I'll [C]ride my [G]pony

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]
[C][D][G]
[D][C][D][G]

[Verse 4]
While the [G]horseman you might say
He is a slave to the [C]root
But he loves that beast of burden
[D]And there is no substitute
[G]For the pleasure of saddle
Or the leather [D]of his [C]boot
So I [D]think I'll ride [C]my [G]pony

[Verse 5]
[G]I had a girl in Dixon county
And we rode the Highland [C]rim
She kept my cabin warm in winter
And [D]mended every [G]hem
And I would've took her with me
But that trail never [C]ends
So I [D]think I'll [C]ride my [G]pony

[Verse 6]
[D]Riding where spring turns
up black [C]roses[G]
[C]Wraps its thorns and petals
around my [G]mind[D]
Riding somewhere only God sup[Em]poses
I could [C]ever dream of getting to
I'm [G]sneaking up be[D]hind
Think I'll [C]ride my [G]pony

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][C][D][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]Think I'll ride my pony

[Interlude 3]
[G][C][D]
[G]

[Verse 8]
Think I'll [G]ride my pony

[Outro 1]
