Good Saddles Aint Cheap

G
Me and my son were in a tack shop 
one day,
Cadd9                             
he'd just got a pony for his 
   D
seventh birthday.
G
He needed a rig and we found one he 
liked
Cadd9                         
and I was tryin? to get the old 
                   D
feller to come down off his price 
and he said son,
let me give you some cowboy advice

[Verse]
G                                 
There's a few things a man needs 
  G/B
to know
Cadd9                            
As he travels this trail we call 
D
life
G                           G/B
Like don't ever eat yellow snow
Cadd9                           D
Or bed down with a tougher mans wife
Am              C/B              
Get your water upstream from the 
C
herd
Am              C/B        
But the best lesson I've ever 
      C
learned is

[Chorus]
                    G
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   G/B
But there're worth every dime
                   Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
                   D     D/C   
When you're on a long ride
D/B  D/A

                    G
You know a deal and a bargain
Continues after the ad
                    G/B
Are often misunderstood
                   Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   D     D/C   
Cheap saddles ain't good
D/B  D/A


[Verse]
G
Said, you might save yourself a few 
dollars
Cadd9                    D
Feel pretty smart at the time
G
But there's nothing that hurts any 
smarter
Cadd9                   D
Than a galled raw blistered behind
Am              C/B              
And you're vertebrae?s all out of 
C
whack
Am              C/B              C
Not to mention your poor horses back

[Chorus]
                   G
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   G/B
But there're worth every dime
                    Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
                      D     D/C   
When you're on a long ride
D/B  D/A

                    G
You know a deal and a bargain
                    G/B
Are often misunderstood
                    Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   D
Cheap saddles ain't good

[Bridge]
Am                 C/B         Cadd9
It depends on what you want to spend
Am                 C/B         
But you get what you pay for my 
Cadd9
friend

[Chorus]
                   G
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   G/B
But they're worth every dime
                    Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
                      D     D/C   
When you're on a long ride
D/B  D/A

                    G
You know a deal and a bargain
                    G/B
Are often misunderstood
                    Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   D
Cheap saddles ain't good

                    Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   D
Cheap saddles ain't good
