D G D
From the hills of Casey Wyoming Where life's wooley and wild
D E7 A
Came a navy brat in a cowboy hat And that Copenhagen smile
D G G F# E
And from bucking broncos to honky tonks He always sang a cow-boy's song
D B7 G A D
And we were much too young having too much fun As we all sang along
CHORUS (key of D):
G D
And he sang Life's a Highway
G D
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
G D B7
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
E7 B n.c.
Pull your hat down tight and just LeDoux it
D
When that whistle blows and the crowd explodes
G G s F# E (s=slide use F form of both chords helps.)
And them pickup men are at your side
D A D D A7 D key change E
They tell you good ride cowboy Good ride 1.)"take a ride"
E A E
From gold buckles to gold records Once again he was spinning round
E F# B
Took the whole world on And he turned us on to that Western Under-ground
E
And from Bareback Jack to This Cowboy's Hat
A A s G# F#m
The songs were stronger than his pain
E C#7
And he would not slow down from town to town
A B E
Like children running through the rain
CHORUS (key of E):
A E
And he sang Life's a Highway
A E
There's only one way you're gonna get through it
A E C#7
When she starts to twist be more like Chris
F#7 B n.c.
Pull your hat down tight and just LeDoux it
E
When that whistle blows and the crowd explodes
A A s G# F#m
And them pickup men are at your side
E B E
They tell you good ride cowboy Good ride
to chorus
ENDING: easier to play if A=002220 and G#=001110
E A A G# F#m
I bet he crossed that river Jordan With Saint Peter on the other side
E B E A E B E F#
Singing good ride cowboy good Ride Say good ride cowboy good Ride
