Key of G 
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
     G This old highway she's a hotter C than nine kinds of hell 
     The D7 rides they is scarce as the G rain. 
     When you're down to your last shuck C with nothing to sell 
     And D7 too far away from G the train. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
     G Been a good month of Sunday's and a C guitar ago 
     I D7 had a tall drink of yesterday's G wine. 
     Left a long string of friends, some C sheets in the wind 
     And D7 some satisfied women G behind. 
 
 
Chorus: 
 
     G So won't you ride me down easy Lord, C ride me on down 
     Leave D7 word in the dust where I G lay. 
     Say I'm easy come, C easy go 
     And D7 easy to love when G I stay. 
 
 
Verse 3: 
     G I've put snow on the mountain, raised C hell on the hill 
     Locked D7 horns with the devil him G self. 
     Been a rodeo bum, a C son of a gun 
     And a D7 hobo with stars in his G crown. 
 
 
Repeat Chorus, then chorus to fade out
