Dave Stamey - Song for jake

I am an old c^Aowboy ^G I don't ride much no m^Dore I came to this v^Aalley ^G right after the w^Dar and I used to shoe h^Bmorses ^G and there's some saddles I b^Duilt and I've rode after c^Aattle ^G all over these hi^Dlls

Started out at the p^Aitchfork ^G when I was thirt^Deen Riding young h^Aorses ^G riding my dr^Deams and them old hands they t^Bmaught me ^G all it takes is some n^Derve just throw a leg ^Aover and ride what you r^Gide for all that it's w^Dorth

^A Some folks regr^Get the lives that they l^Dead they s^Bmtare out the window ^G they yearn to be f^Dree ^F#I live the life that was given to ^Bmme ^G and I thr^Dew a leg over and r^Aode it for all it was w^Bmorth ^G Yes I r^Dode it ^A for all it was wo^Grth ^D

I was blue eyed and w^Aindburned ^G I was every girl's dr^Deam Wild steers on the m^Aountain ^G where the butt brush was gr^Deen and though some days were d^Bmark ones ^G when that old north wind bl^Dew I just gathered my r^Aeigns ^G and I rode it thr^Dough

Time comes cr^Aeeping ^G to wipe out your tr^Dacks but if your trail's been a g^Aood one ^G you don't mind looking b^Dack Dreams are like h^Bmorses ^G they roam wild on the ^Dearth catch one and r^Aide it ^G for all that it's w^Dorth

^A Some folks regr^Get the lives they l^Dead they s^Bmtare out the window ^G how they yearn to be fr^Dee ^F#I live the life that was given to ^Bmme ^G and I thr^Dew a leg over and r^Aode it for all it was w^Bmorth ^G Yes I r^Dode it ^A for all it was w^Gorth ^D

I am an old c^Aowboy ^G I don't ride much no m^Dore
