The Refreshments

Em C D Em D x2
Em
Rode hard and put up wet
C
I aimed down, but I can’t get up yeah
D Em D
It’s a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Em
Sundown across the plain
C
I’ve been sore before, I’ll be sore again
D Em D
No place to hide to keep from running
Em
Laid down in a cottonwood hallow
C
I left the trail, no man could follow
D Em D
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning?
Em
Cracked throat and my canteen’s dry
C
And rain don’t fall from an empty sky
D Em D
So I’ll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up
C
Now don’t tell me that part of the story when
G D
The cowboy falls in love
C
When it’s raining in his pistol
G D
And his saddle, and the stars above
G D
When the candle’s burnin’ down
G C
And when midnight comes around
G D
Now all the best that we can hope for
C
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
Em
Rode hard and come down tired
C
Stripped from the saddle when the eye of the fire
D Em D
And deep in dreams of women in clean water
Em
And I did before what I’ll do again
C
So forgive me father if I have sinned
D Em D
But the old wood cracks, before it bends
C
Now don’t tell me that part of the story when
G D
The cowboy falls in love
C
When it’s raining in his pistol
G D
And his saddle, and the stars above
G D
When the candle’s burnin down
G C
And when midnight comes around
G D
Now all the best that we can hope for
C
Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground
