[Verse 1]
 D                  *       GAbout the time that I came around
           D                     *           GHe'd grown tired, his health was headed southbound
            D               D/C#He was slow climbing in the saddle
    Bm          A           EmBut once he was up he could fly
               ALord, he could fly

[Verse 2]
           D             *          GHe told me stories 'bout California gold
             D              *          GWorking with Shorty in that West Texas cold
       D               D/C#He was rough as a cop, tougher than nails
    Bm              A                 EmBut when he talked about her he would cry
             AOh, how he'd cry

[Chorus]
      G              Bm         A              DAnd I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray
        G             Bm              AAnd how actions speak louder than any words you may say
    G            Bm                A           DAnd like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life
   G               Bm      ATo everything that he ever said
        EmOh, and though he's long gone
    A                          D   *   GI'm still out here ridin' with Red

[Interlude]
D  *  G

[Verse 2]
        D                *             GI never liked or learned too much from school
                 D           *              GHe taught me the hard knocks and the golden rule
       D            D/C#How to chew, hot to spit
     Bm          A                EmWork hard, never quit, he gave me money
                           ASo I could spend it on the girls

[Chorus]
      G              Bm         A              DAnd I learned how to rope and I learned how to pray
        G             Bm              AAnd how actions speak louder than any words you may say
    G            Bm                A           DAnd like bustin' broncs, I've hung on for dear life
   G               Bm      ATo everything that he ever said
        EmOh, and though he's long gone
