Intro   D5 D5 D5 D5 
 
                          G5           D5 
Well the young cowboy in a small Texas town
                              A5     D5  
Walkin with his buddies to the rodeo grounds
                             G5      D5 
When a girl on a horse caught him by surprise
                                A5             D5 
With her long brown hair and her bright silver eyes
                                  G5          D5 
Well she told him her name and she gave him a grin
                                 A5            D5 
Then she kicked her pony and rode off like the wind 
                                     G5        D5
Well he couldn't take his eyes off as she rode away 
                           A5            D5
And he had no idea what she started that day 
 
Chorus: 
            G5               D5         A5                      D5
And it'll be hard livin this way but I know somehow I'll be OK
        G5                       D5           G5   G5 E5 
What I'm tryin to say is for the rest of my days
             D5           A5         D5  
I'll miss the pretty girl ridin the bay 
 
REPEAT SAME CHORDS AS 1ST VERSE 
 
A short four years later in an old Chevy truck 

Singin along to Navajo rug 

Holdin hands sittin close both feelin fine 

Yeah ridin along drinkin Wild Island wine 

The time had past and we both felt the same 

So she stood beside me and she took my name  

But it didn't take long before the love was all gone 

So she gave back my name and she broke up our home 
 
Chorus x 2 
          D5           A5         D5 
I miss the pretty girl ridin the bay
