[Intro]
E  A  E  A
E  A  E  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
        E                              A
Well, I walk into the room passing out hundred dollar bills
             E                                   A
And it kills and it thrills like the horns on my Silverado grill
      E                                       A
And I buy the bar a double round of Crown and everybody's getting down
         E                             A
An' this town ain't never gonna be the same
 
 
{ CHORUS }
        E                        A
Cause I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
  E                             A
I make a lot of noise cause the girls, they are so pretty
E                                 A
Riding up and down Broadway on my old stud Leroy
                 E
And the girls say
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
              E
Everybody says
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
 
 
[Verse 2]
        E                       A
Well, I don't give a dang about nothing
                      E                                    A
I'm singing and bling-blanging while the girls are drinking long necks down
      E                              A
And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
        E                              A
Or your freak parade I'm the only John Wayne left in this town
 
 
{ CHORUS }
      E                        A
And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
  E                             A
I make a lot of noise cause the girls, they are so pretty
E                                 A
Riding up and down Broadway on my old stud Leroy
                 E
And the girls say
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
              E
Everybody says
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy

[Bridge]
     E                                           A
I'm a thorough-bred, that's what she said in the back of my truck bed
         E                          A
As I was gettin' buzzed on suds out on some back country road
        E                          A
We were flying high, fine as wine, having ourselves a big and rich time
E                                     A
And I was going, just about as far as she'd let me go
    E                    A
But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation
       E                     A
Had me begging for salvation all night long
     E                                A
So I took her out giggin' frogs, introduced her to my old bird dog
    E                                         A
And sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of and we made love
 
 
{ CHORUS }
      E                        A
And I saddle up my horse and I ride into the city
  E                             A
I make a lot of noise cause the girls, they are so pretty
E                                 A
Riding up and down Broadway on my old stud Leroy
                 E
And the girls say
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
              E
Everybody says
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
           E
What? What?
              G      A
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
              E
Everybody says
N.C.
Save a horse, ride a cowboy
