verse 1
C
Jake ridin' south on the holiest day
C
Headin' for the Mexican border
C
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range
C
Just to help him keep law and order
C
Sits right back just a-takin' it easy
C
Drinks a shot a whiskey
B
And it makes him mighty wheezy
C
He coughed hard once
C
He coughed hard twice
C
Neglecting keeping watch
F C F Bb
Don't mind the sheriff's advice, oh yeah
F C
Ridin' shotgun
F
Runnin' over land
G
To the Rio Grande now
Solo

And bore Jake to his feet
C
His pants fell down and actin' like a clown
C
The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat
C
Big Jake did the boogaloo too
B
Got lucky, he cried like a drunk

His aspirations ain't no more for you

And that's the way it is

Ridin' shotgun

Runnin' over land

C
Stage got in to the center of town
C
And Jake gotta have himself a drink
C
He got to the bar and what he saw
G
Any self-respecting folk would hate to think
C Bb
Ella May was dancin' to the sound of the blues
C
Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes
G C
It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near
F
'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer
F Bb C
Ridin' shotgun
Dm
Runnin' over land

To the Rio Grande

Take the law in hand
