VERSE 1:
(-piano +lead guitar after each line)
D G
Well you pass around the pipe and you all get high.
A D
Never even stop and wonder why.
D G G D/F#
Maybe it's because you wanna die.
Em A
Maybe it's just the way things have to be.
D G
You stay up late and drink too damn much whiskey.
A D
You know that sort of thing is kind of risky.
D G G D/F#
Maybe it's just because you like to feel frisky.
Em A D
Maybe it's just because you like to feel free.
CHORUS 1:
(-piano)
G A D
Saddle Tramp, how many people watch you ridin' by,
G A D
Like a thunder cloud that floats across the Arizona sky,
G A D G G D/F#
And wonder if they're looking at a mighty happy man,
Em A
Or just a lonely breeze that drifts across the
G D/F# E D
Endless desert sand.
(+lead guitar)
|D A |C G |
VERSE 2:
(+piano)
D G
Well it's gettin' kinda cold in Readosa.
A D
Abilene ain't gettin' any closer.
D G G D\F#
One more drink, one more hand of poker.
Em A
Because a fool and his money's gonna have to part.
D G
You're too proud to ever show your sorrow.
A D
You don't steal and you won't beg or borrow.
D G G D/F#
You may be here today but you're gone tomorrow.
Em A D
There ain't no strings on your boot heels or your heart.
CHORUS 2:
G A D
Saddle Tramp, how many people watch you ride away,
G A D
Wonder why you never promise to come back some day.
G A D G G D/F#
Maybe thinking you were holding all the pieces in your hand,
Em A
Or are they slippin' through your fingers like the
G D/F# E D
Endless desert sand.
