              G     C      D
Ride cowboy ride
             G            C                   D
Through the back door to heaven to the other side.
         G        C           D
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
G      C       D
Ride, cowboy, ride
G                                 Em 
Yeah, I learn my lesson here's a story to tell
      C                          D 
So I make my confession in this sleazy motel
            G            
I could be the romantic
         Em
I could try my best lines,
      C                                  D
but I ain't got the money. And we ain't got the town.
 
G     C      D
Ride cowboy ride
             G            C                   D
Through the back door to heaven to the other side.
         G        C           D
I wanna know the danger of a kiss at midnight
G      C       D
Ride, cowboy, ride
 
G  Em                         C      D  
  So you want to be a cowboy, ride, ride, ride
G (Em) C                    D  
  You wanna be a big shot. Baby come on
G  Em  C     D          G
      Ride, ride,ride
