Hi, my name is MaryAnn. This is actually a song that I wrote. The idea came from the song My Church by Maren
Morris, great song! So this is my song.
The strum pattern I used is the same as the song My Church. 1 2 + + 4 + 5 +
(numbers are all down strum and the + are up strums)
Tell me what you think!! :)
[Intro]
A D A E
[Verse 1]
A
I've had some bad habits
D A
I've messed up some of my life
A
I've strayed from the path
E
Oh, so many times
A
But when this heart of mine gets heavy
D
I saddle up my ol' mare
A E A
Let my hair down, and go for a ride
[Chorus]
A
Someone say hallelujah
D A
He's always with me there
A
That's where I really see Him
E
When we're running way out there
A
I see Him in my life
D A
Sayin' won't you come with me
D A E A
When I'm ridin' my mare (2 full beats on "ridin'")
[Verse 2]
A
When the chucky's tellin' stories
D A
'Bout how God saved his life
A
Gets my heart up and jumping'
E
To see what He'll do with mine
A
But when the stresses of this life
D F#
Seem to put a damper on my plans
A E
I go catch my ol' mare, and go for a ride
D A
'Til it all fades away
[Chorus]
(Chorus again with no instruments, just clap to beat)
When I'm on ridin' my mare
