RIDER IN THE RAIN - RANDY NEWMAN

( lyrics partly from ftp.uwp.edu, beware of errors )


Slow, relaxed, like if yer riding a horse, kinda.


C/G F C/G F C/G
Got a gun in my holster, got a horse between my knees

F C/G G C/G
and I`m goin` to Arizona, pardon me boys if ya please

(same chords)
I have been a desperado, raped and pillages `cross the plain
Now, I`m goin` to Arizona, just a rider in the rain

Chorus:
Am C/G
He`s a rider in the rain

F C/G
He`s a rider in the rain

F C/G
and I`m goin` to Arizona

G C/G
He`s a rider in the rain


Oh, my mother`s in St. Louis, and my bride`s in Tennessee
So, I`m goin` to Arizona, with a banjo on my knee

Chorus

Used to work in Uncle`s feed store, while he was fightin` in the war
Now I`m goin` to Arizona, ain`t gonna work for him no more

I`m the son of the prairie, and the wind that sweeps the plain
So, I`m goin` to Arizona, just a rider in the rain

Chorus 2 times but last line is: just a rider in the rain

Voice: Take it boys...

Bass riff: G A B

(chords as in verses) Oooooo ooohoooo ooohoooo Oooooo ooohoooo ooohoooo
Ooohoo hooooooo ooohoooo oohooo hooo Ooooho hooooooo ooohoooo oohooo

Hope I got that allright heh heh heh :-)

You can also play it with an alternate bassline
like this - instead of playing the whole chords.
