Don't Ever Sell Your Saddle 

INTRO: 
F#m  E  D  F#m  E  A 

VERSE: 
E 
Daddy shoulda been a preacher man 
            A                       E 
'Cause everybody loved to hear him speak 
E 
He didn't always follow his own advice 
       A                   E 
But we got a sermon every week 
           F#              D 
He'd say, "Trouble always starts as fun," 
      A                         E 
And, "Broken hearts will always mend." 
       F#m                      D 
"Tough times don't last, tough people do," 
      A                         E 
And, "Nothin' breaks if it can bend." 

Chorus: 
                       D 
"Don't ever sell your saddle." 
                    A 
"Never owe another man." 
        Bm                  E 
"Watch where you spit on a windy day." 
            A 
"Don't use words you can't understand." 
                           D 
"Find the Lord before you need him." 
                       F#m 
And, "Never lose your pride." 
                       Bm     F#m 
"Don't ever sell your saddle, 
        D        E          A 
'Cause life's a long, long ride." 

VERSE: 
E  A  E  A 
Daddy never ran from anything 
        A                     E 
Always took his share of the blame 
       E                  
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up 
     A                     E 
But hard enough to stop a train 
          F#m              D 
He said, "Only fight when you have to, 
                A               E 
'Cause there's always a faster gun." 
             F#m                 D 
And, "You'll know a hero from a coward 
          A                  E 
When you see which way they run." 

Chorus: 
                       D 
"Don't ever sell your saddle." 
                    A 
"Never owe another man." 
        Bm                  E 
"Watch where you spit on a windy day." 
            A 
"Don't use words you can't understand." 
                           D 
"Find the Lord before you need him." 
                       F#m 
And, "Never lose your pride." 
                       Bm     F#m 
"Don't ever sell your saddle, 
        D        E          A 
'Cause life's a long, long ride." 

BRIDGE: 
G             D/F#                A                 E 
Daddy left me his old saddle the day that he passed on 
     G                       D/F#         E 
And these words are etched into my mind, just as they were in stone 

Chorus: 
                       D 
"Don't ever sell your saddle." 
                    A 
"Never owe another man." 
        Bm                  E 
"Watch where you spit on a windy day." 
            A 
"Don't use words you can't understand." 
                           D 
"Find the Lord before you need him." 
                       F#m 
And, "Never lose your pride." 
                       Bm     F#m 
"Don't ever sell your saddle, 
        D        E          A 
'Cause life's a long, long ride." 

OUTRO: 
                      Bm     F#m 
Don't ever sell your saddle, 
         D       E          A  D  A 
'Cause life's a long, long ride.
