Am C F C
Been in the saddle since the sun came up
Am G F G
Rounding up strays in, this ole; West Texas dust
Am C F C
She's been packing her things since I put coffee on
Am G C
By sundown she'll be gone
[Verse 2]
Am C F C
Damn this ole girth, worn right in two
Am G F G
But a spare length of leather and I'll make it do
Am C F C
Just when I think I've got life by the reins
Am G C
Home ain't sweet home on the range
[Chorus]
Am C F C
If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
Am G F C
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
Am G F C
If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle
[Bridge]
Bbm C
And she'd say she loved me and this cowboy way of life
Gm G
She'd be right beside me when we rode home tonight
[Chorus]
Am C F C
If heartaches were horses and hard times were cattle
Am G F C
I'd ride home at sunset, sitting tall in the saddle
Am G F C
If heartaches were horses and hard time were cattle
