Speckled Pony

A

[Verse 1]
A                                 
Death ain't nothin' but a speckled
                       D
 pony ain't never been rode
E                                 
That's what Freddy Jones he told 
                   A
me many bottles ago
    A                              
And I guess Freddy was the best 
damn hand that would slip in his 
   D
faded jeans
     E                             
Everybody said Freddy did 
everything bad but he never did 
A
anything mean

[Verse 2]
     A                        
Yeah death ain't nothin' but a 
                              D
speckled pony Freddy came to know
E                                 
Readin' his motel bible in Vaughn,
         A
 New Mexico
            A                      
Now there's lots of trails old man 
                                  D
Freddy rode won't never be rode no 
more

           E                       
Cause he's out there lyin' in a 
line shack dyin' with a chair up 
         A
against the door

[Chorus]
        D                       
And I recall when Freddy told me 
        A
when I ride my speckled pony
          E                    
I'm gonna let that pony know he 
         A
found a man to ride him well
       D                           
All my friends have gone before me 
         A
but I'll ride him home to glory
       E                           
Out of nothing but my ornery and my
                 A
 pride in my own self

[Verse 3]
A                              
Now can’t you hear that speckled 
            D
pony he's ridin' tonight
        E                     
And old Freddy Jones is just a 
workin' cowboy and he’s holdin' on 
A
tight
     A                             
In a shack with a cot and a Coleman
                   D
 stove in the cold panhandle wind
         E                         
There's a friend of mine that don't
 know his kind ain't never gonna 
A
come again

[Chorus]
         D                       
Yeah I recall when Freddy told me 
        A
when I ride my speckled pony...
          E                    
I'm gonna let that pony know he 
         A
found a man to ride him well
       D                           
All my friends have gone before me 
         A
but I'll ride him home to glory
       E                           
Out of nothing but my ornery and my
                 A
 pride in my own self
