Night Riders Lament

Biography:

Troyal Garth Brooks (born February 7, 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma) is an American country music singer songwriter and charity director.

Brooks was a phenomenal musical force in the 1990s. He had his chart breakthrough in 1989, having come apparently from nowhere, and was an immediate commercial success. Lacking the tall and lanky physical appearance typical of some male country stars, he successfully integrated pop and rock elements into his recordings and live performances.

(D) (G)
One night while I was out a ridin'
(D) (A)
The grave yard shift, midnight 'til dawn
(G) (A) (D) (Bm)
The moon was bright as a readin' light
(A) (G) (D)
For a letter from an old friend back home

And he asked me
(G) (A) (D)
Why do you ride for your money
(G) (A) (D)
Tell me why do you rope for short pay
(G) (A)
You ain't a'gettin' nowhere
(D) (Bm) (A) (G)
And you're losin' your share
(A) (G) (D)
Boy, you must have gone crazy out there
(D) (G)
He said last night I ran into Jenny
(D) (A)
She's married and has a good life
(G) (A)
And boy you sure missed the track
(D) (Bm)
When you never come back
(A) (G) (D)
She's the perfect professional's wife

And she asked me
(G) (A) (D)
Why does he ride for his money
(G) (A) (D)
And tell me why does he rope for short pay
(G) (A)
He ain't a'gettin' nowhere
(D) (Bm) (A) (G)
And he's losin' his share
(A) (G) (D)
Boy he must've gone crazy out there
(G) (A) (D) (Bm)
Ah but they've never seen the Northern Lights
(G) (A) (D)
They've never seen a hawk on the wing
(G) (A) (D) (Bm) (A) (G)
They've never spent spring on the Great Divide
(A) (G) (D) (E)
And they've never heard ole' camp cookie sing
(E) (A)
Well I read up the last of my letter
(E) (B)
And I tore off the stamp for black Jim
(A) (B) (E) (C#m)
And when Billy rode up to relieve me
(B) (A) (E)
He just looked at my letter and grinned

He said now
(A) (B) (E)
Why do they ride for their money
(A) (B) (E)
Tell me why do they ride for short pay
(A) (B)
They ain't a'gettin' nowhere
(E) (C#m) (B) (A)
And they're losin' their share
(B) (A) (E)
Boy, they must've gone crazy out there
(A) (B) (E)
Son, they all must be crazy out there
