Thanks to version 1. I agree with the chord pattern. I wrote it all out with the lyrics here. C Am F C C Am F C To the rich man's bright lodges I ride in this wind C Am D G On my good horse I call you my shiny Black Bess C Am F C To the playhouse of fortune to take the bright silver C Am F C And gold you have taken from somebody else C Am F C As we go riding in the damp foggy midnight C Am D G You snort, my good pony, and you give me your best C Am F C For you know, and I know, good horse,'mongst the rich ones C Am F C How oftimes we go there an unwelcome guest C Am F C I've never took food from the widows and orphans C Am D G And never a hard working man I oppressed C Am F C So take your pace easy, for home soon like lightning C Am F C We soon will be riding, my shiny Black Bess C Am F C No fat rich man's pony can e'er overtake you C Am D G And there's not a rider from the east to the west C Am F C Could hold you a light in this dark mist and midnight C Am F C When the potbellied thieves chase their unwelcome guest C Am F C I don't know, good horse,as we trot in this dark here C Am D G if robbing the rich is for worse or for best C Am F C They take it by stealing and lying and gambling C Am F C And I take it my way, my shiny Black Bess C Am F C I treat horses good and I'm friendly to strangers C Am D G I ride and your running makes my guns talk the best C Am F C And the rangers and deputies are hired by the rich man C Am F C To catch me and hang me, my shining Black Bess C Am F C Yes, they'll catch me napping one day and they'll kill me C Am D G And then I'll be gone but that won't be my end C Am F C For my guns and my saddle will always be filled C Am F C By unwelcome travelers and other brave men C Am F C And they'll take the money and spread it out equal C Am D G Just like the Bible and the prophets suggest C Am F C But the men that go riding to help these poor workers C Am F C The rich will cut down like an unwelcome guest
