He was ^Drough as a cop, ^D/C#tougher than nails But ^Bmwhen he talked a^About her he would ^Emcry Oh, how he'd ^Acry

[Chorus]

And I ^Glearned how to ^Bmrope and I ^Alearned how to ^Dpray And how ^Gactions speak ^Bmlouder than any ^Awords you may say And ^Glike bustin' ^Bmbroncs, I've hung ^Aon for dear ^Dlife To ^Geverything that ^Bmhe ever ^Asaid Oh, and ^Emthough he's long gone A D * G I'm still out here ridin' with Red
