Big and Rich - Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)
Intro, with Mr.-Brownstone-y b3’s
EAx 4
Vox on the 1
Well, I Ewalk into the room
Passing out Ahundred dollar bills
And it kills, Eand it thrills, like the horns on my
ASilverado grill
And I Ebuy the bar a double round of Crown
And Aeverybody’s getting down
And this town, Eain’t never gonna be the Asame
Vox originally on the b3 the whole line, but
easier to do the 1 until “horse”
‘Cause I Esaddle up my horse
Vox down to the 1 of the chord on “ride”
And I Aride into the city
I Emake a lot of noise
‘Cause the Agirls they are so pretty
ERiding up and down Broadway
On my Aold stud Leroy
And the girls say D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Everybody says D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Well I Edon’t give a dang about Anothing
I’m singing and bling-Eblinging
While the girls are drinking
Hard stop on “long”
ALong necks down
And I Ewouldn’t trade ol’ Leroy
Or my AChevrolet for your Escalade
Or your Efreak parade
I’m the only John Wayne Aleft in this town
And I Esaddle up my horse
And I Aride into the city
I Emake a lot of noise
‘Cause the Agirls they are so pretty
ERiding up and down Broadway
On my Aold stud Leroy
And the girls say D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Everybody says D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Solo on verse chords
EAEAx2
More or less spoken
I’m a Ethouroughbred that’s what she said
In the Aback of my truck bed
As I was gEettin’ buzzed on suds
Out on Asome back country road
The banjo does the Secret Agent Man riff here, not really necessary but the chords here are a nod to the banjo part
We were Eflying high, fE(b6)ine as wine
AHaving ourselves a A7#9big and rich time
And I Ewas going, just aE(b6)bout as far as she’d Alet me go A7#9
Spoken, with harmony the high octave
But Eher evaluation
Of my cAowboy reputation
Had me bEegging for salvation
All nighAt long
So I Etook her out giggin’ frogs
IntrodAuced her to my old bird dog
Hard stop on “think
And Esang her every Wilie Nelson song I could Athink of
And we made love
And I Esaddle up my horse
And I Aride into the city
I Emake a lot of noise
‘Cause the Agirls they are so pretty
ERiding up and down Broadway
On my Aold stud Leroy
And the girls say D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Everybody says D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
What? What? D→ ESave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
Last two chords implied (on “ride a cowboy”)
Everybody says D→ Esave a horse, Gride a Acowboy
