Biografía:
Chris Ledoux nació en Biloxi, Mississippi, el 2 de Octubre de 1948. Su padre, piloto de las Fuerzas Aéreas, es destinado a Austin, Texas, donde Chris toma contacto, ya de bien pequeño, con la música country y con los rodeos. Ambas cosas marcarían su vida. Decidió dedicarse profesionalmente al mundo del Rodeo, ganando su primer campeonato del mundo de la Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) en 1976, estando en primera línea hasta 1980, año en el que se retiró.

The Ride
By Chris Ledoux
Tabbed By Daniel Owens
Capo 5
[Verse]
G
I was six years old, my brother was ten
Dsus2/F#
One July day came running in,
C
seen a ferris wheel at the edge of town
C
So, of course, we headed on down
G
Well it took us an hour to walk that far
Dsus2/F#
Carrying our fortune in a Mason jar
C
It was all pretty sad, a cheap county fair
C
With a few old rides but there was ponies there
G
Well, the ponies stunk and the air was still
Dsus2/F#
In that dusty circle behind the ferris wheel
C
This old guy smelling of smoke and rum
C
Swung me up and sat me down on one
G
Well I'd never rode a horse but I'd seen it done
Dsus2/F#
Cowboy movies made it look like fun
C
This old man whispered a few soft words
C
It was the best advice I've ever heard
[Chorus]
C G
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
D G
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C G
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D G
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
G
I went up a kid with shaking hands
Dsus2/F#
And I came down a full grown man
C
It was like he'd cast some Voodoo spell
C
Things were different for me now, I could tell
G
'Cos whenever troubles come wandering in
Dsus2/F#
His rhyme would pop in my head again
C
And somehow I rode through the needles and nails
C
Brambles and thorns that life entails
[Chorus]
C G
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
D G
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C G
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D G
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
G
Well I know some day farther down the road
Dsus2/F#
I'll come to the edge of the great unknown
C
There'll stand a black horse riderless
C
And I wonder if I'm ready for this
G
So I'll saddle him up and he'll switch his tail
Dsus2/F#
And I'll tip my hat and bid fairwell
C
And lift my song into the air
C
That I learned at that dusty fair
[Chorus]
C G
He said "Sit tall in the saddle, Hold your head up high
D G
Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky
C G
And live like you ain't afraid to die
D G
And don't be scared, just enjoy your ride"
D G
Now don't be scared, just enjoy your ride
