[Verse 1]
D G
He was black as the sky on a moonless night
D A
He was real good with the horses, never reined 'em too tight
D G
He rode with the best, hell he rode with me
A
And they got it all wrong in that book of history

[Chorus]
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G Bm
And there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
D A D
We swore at the Devil and went for a ride

[Verse 2]
D G
We told some tales, he told 'em best
D A
Real-life can always use a good stretch,
D G
But that don't change the things we did
A
'cause the truest thing was the life that we lived

[Chorus]
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G Bm
And there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
D A D
We swore at the Devil and went for a ride

[Verse 3]
D G
More than one kind of pain more than one kind of theft
D A
And it's bitter as the night sweet Jesus wept
D G
She stole my heart, age stole the fire
A
They stole my prairie when they strung all that wire

[Chorus]
G D
It wasn't cowboys and ponies it was horses and men
A D
It wasn't schoolboys and ladies it was cowtowns and sin
G Bm
And there was blood on the leather and tears in her eyes
D A D
We swore at the Devil and went for a ride

[Outro]
D A D
Lord, we swore at the Devil and a-went for a ride
