Verse 1: 
         D5                             G5 
      The highway she's hotter than nine kinds of hell 
              A5                          D5 
      The rides,they as scarce as the rain 
                                                  G5  
      When you're down to your last shove with nothin' to sell 
             A5                      D5 
      And too far away from the train 
 
Verse 2: 
         D5                                  G5    
      Been a good month of Sundays and a guitar ago 
               A5                          D5        
      Had a tall drink of yesterday's wine 
                                            G5  
      Left a long string of friends,some sheets in the wind 
                  A5                 D5 
      And some satisfied women behind 
 
Chorus: 
          D5                         G5  
      Hey ride me down easy Lord,ride me on down 
              A5                         D5     
      Leave word in the dust where i lay 
                           G5            A5                    D5  
      Say "i'm easy come,easy go and easy to love when i stay" 
 
Verse 3: 
          D5                               G5 
      Left snow on the mountain,raised hell on the hill 
                A5                       D5 
      Locked horns with the devil himself 
                        G5 
      Been a rodeo bum ,a son-of-a-gun 
               A5                      D5  
      And a hobo with stars in my crown 
 
Chorus.
