The Refreshments

Em C D Em D x2

Em

Rode hard and put up wet

C

I aimed down, but I can't get up yeah

D Em D

It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel

Em

Sundown across the plain

C

I've been sore before, I'll be sore again

D Em D

No place to hide to keep from running

Em

Laid down in a cottonwood hallow

C

I left the trail, no man could follow

D Em D

Is it safe to rest my head again till morning?

Em

Cracked throat and my canteen's dry

C

And rain don't fall from an empty sky

D Em D

So I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up

C

Now don't tell me that part of the story when

G D

The cowboy falls in love

C

When it's raining in his pistol

G D

And his saddle, and the stars above

G D

When the candle's burnin' down

G C

And when midnight comes around

G D

Now all the best that we can hope for

C

Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground

Em

Rode hard and come down tired

C

Stripped from the saddle when the eye of the fire

D Em D

And deep in dreams of women in clean water

Em

And I did before what I'll do again

C

So forgive me father if I have sinned

D Em D

But the old wood cracks, before it bends

C

Now don't tell me that part of the story when

G D

The cowboy falls in love

C

When it's raining in his pistol

G D

And his saddle, and the stars above

G D

When the candle's burnin down

G C

And when midnight comes around

G D

Now all the best that we can hope for

C

Is to be laughing when we finally hit the ground

Solo
