I Ride An Old Paint

Old cowboy song, later sung by Woody Guthrie. Even later, adapted by
Arlo Guthrie.

G
6 7 7 7 -6 6
I ride an old pa-int,

6 7 7 7 -6 6
I lead an old Da-n,

D7
6 -8 -8 -8 -8
I’m goin’ to Montan’

G
7 -8 8 -8 8 -8 7
for to throw the hoolihan,

D7
7 -8 -8 -8 -8 7
They feed in the coolies,

G
-8 8 -8 8 -8 7
They water in the draw,

D7
7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6
Their tails are all matted,

C G
-7 7 7 7 7
Their backs are all raw,

chorus:
D7
-7 7 -8 -8 -8 -8 7
Ride a-round, lit-tle dog-ies,

G
-8 -8 8 -8 8 -8 7
Ride a-rou-nd th-em slow,

D7
7 7 -7 -7 -7 -7 6
For the fiery and snuffy

C G
-7 7 7 7 7
are rarin’ to go.
