         A              F#m
well I rode out to the ocean
         A                          F#m
and the water looked like tarnished gold
A                 F#m
I rode out on a broken horse
      A                       F#m
who told me she'd never felt so old
A
she asked me if I'd feed her
    F#m
and ride her now and then
 
A
no no no, no no no, no no no,
        F#m
I break horses 
                 A
I don't tend to them
         F#m   (Hoooooooo)
I break horses
              A
they seem to come to me
              F#m  (Hoooooooo)
asking to be broken
              A
they seem to run to me
          F#m   (Hoooooooo)
I break horses
                  A
doesn't take me long
       F#m
just a few well-placed words
           A                            F#m        A
and their wandering hearts are gone
 
F#m                                          A
well at first her warmth felt good between my legs
F#m                             A
living breathing heart-beating flesh
F#m
but soon that warmth turned to an itch
 
turned to a scratch
 
turned to a gash
   A
I break 
       F#m
I break horses 
               A              F#m    A
I don't tend to them
 
F#m
tonight I'm swimming to my favorite island
A
and I don't want to see you swimming behind
F#m
tonight I'm swimming to my favorite island
A
and I don't want to see you swimming behind
           F#m
no I break horses
                A
I don't tend to them
F#m            A

Thanks. The version I tabbed from is on Kicking a Couple Around. It's definitely not tuned a half step down. There's a live recording from 2008 where he plays a half step up, so Gm,Bb. His voice is much deeper on that recording. You really just have to match it to your range.

Great 5 Star. Although you forgot to mention it's tuned down half a step. :)
