Night Rider's Lament

  
     
          D                                G                D                                          A     
One night while I was out ridin' the graveyard shift, midnight 'til dawn,     
          G               A                  D       Bm                A                  G                      D     
The moon was bright as a readin' light for a letter from an old friend back home.     
                                 G                  A                    D                         G                 A                      D     
And he asked me "Why do you ride for your money? Tell me, why do you rope for short pay?     
                   G               A                         D                 Bm   A  G     
You ain't gettin' nowhere and you're losin' your    sha-a-are.     
                   A                          G               D     
Boy, you must have gone crazy out there."    
     
                  D                                   G                     D                                      A     
He said "Last night I run onto Jenny. She's married and she has a good life.     
                  G                           A                        D                 Bm     
Boy, you sure missed the track when you never came back.     
                     A                  G              D     
She's the perfect professional's wife.     
                   
                                    G                       A                 D                                G                     A                D     
'And she asked me, 'Why does he ride for his money? And tell me why does he rope for short pay?     
                   G              A                       D          Bm  A  G     
He ain't gettin' nowhere and he's losin' his  sha-a-re     
                     A                   G                D     
Boy, he must've gone crazy out there.'"    
     
                        G            A            D          Bm                    G                   A                  D     
Ah, but they've never seen the Northern Lights, they've never seen a hawk on the wing.     
             G                    A                    D       Bm A G     
They never spent spring on the Great Divi-i-ide,     
                        A                         G                     D           E              
And they've never heard ol' Camp Cookie sing.    
     
                 E                                  A                  E                                         B     
Well, I read up the last of my letter, and I tore off the stamp for black Jim.     
                     A               B               E    C#m                      B                  A              E     
And when Billy rode up to relieve me,      he just looked at my letter and grinned.         
                             A                    B                  E                        A                   B                   E     
He said, "Now why do they ride for their money? Tell me why do they ride for short pay?     
                       A             B                            E            C#m  B  A     
They ain't gettin' nowhere and they're losin' their   sha-a-are.     
                         B                   A               E     
Boy, they must've gone crazy out there.     
                     A                   B               E     
Son, they all must be crazy out there.     

(Repeat chorus, then yodel)
