Chris LeDoux fans!! I have quite a bit more and I will try to get some
more on, I'm also open to specific requests and better versions or
corrections. Just remember: I get lots of requests when I play my guitar
but, I play it anyway.

RIDING FOR A FALL
Words and Music by Chris LeDOUX

D              A          Bm              A   
Last night you told her,  you could never hold her
      G                      A
Cause cowboys just got to be free
D             A           Bm         A 
Her heart was breaking,   yours was aching
        G             A           D
but you saddled up to follow your dreams
D              A          Bm               A       
Coffee on your campfire,  wind through the barbed wire
G                       A
You huddle close to the flames
D                  A              Bm           A
Though she's far behind you,  the night wind reminds you
        G         A             D 
It just keeps on whispering her name

CHORUS:
A              G           D
You can make a run for the border
A                  G           D
Try to hide in the hole in the wall
Bm                               A
But don't you know your arms are aching to hold her
    G                                A      
But cowboy even though you're riding tall 
                    D
You're riding for a fall

verse 2:

Midnight the moons up,  hands around your tin cup
The frost settles in on the sage
The night gettin' colder,  well man you're gettin' older
Tonight you're feeling your age

verse 3
Why don't you turn back,  just saddle up and backtrack
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers
and tell me  On a cold lonesome evening,  
What the hell good's your freedom
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs

REPEAT CHORUS
