[Intro]
G
Me and my son were in a tack shop one day,
Cadd9 D
he'd just got a pony for his seventh birthday.
G
He needed a rig and we found one he liked
Cadd9 D
and I was tryin? to get the old feller to come down off his price and he said son,
let me give you some cowboy advice
[Verse]
G G/B
There's a few things a man needs to know
Cadd9 D
As he travels this trail we call life
G G/B
Like don't ever eat yellow snow
Cadd9 D
Or bed down with a tougher mans wife
Am C/B C
Get your water upstream from the herd
Am C/B C
But the best lesson I've ever learned is
[Chorus]
G
Good saddles ain't cheap
G/B
But there're worth every dime
Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
D D/C D/B D/A
When you're on a long ride
G
You know a deal and a bargain
G/B
Are often misunderstood
Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
D D/C D/B D/A
Cheap saddles ain't good
[Verse]
G
Said, you might save yourself a few dollars
Cadd9 D
Feel pretty smart at the time
G
But there's nothing that hurts any smarter
Cadd9 D
Than a galled raw blistered behind
Am C/B C
And you're vertebrae?s all out of whack
Am C/B C
Not to mention your poor horses back
[Chorus]
G
Good saddles ain't cheap
G/B
But there're worth every dime
Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
D D/C D/B D/A
When you're on a long ride
G
You know a deal and a bargain
G/B
Are often misunderstood
Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
D
Cheap saddles ain't good
[Bridge]
Am C/B Cadd9
It depends on what you want to spend
Am C/B Cadd9
But you get what you pay for my friend
[Chorus]
G
Good saddles ain't cheap
G/B
But they're worth every dime
Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
D D/C D/B D/A
When you're on a long ride
G
You know a deal and a bargain
G/B
Are often misunderstood
Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
D
Cheap saddles ain't good
Cadd9
Good saddles ain't cheap
D
Cheap saddles ain't good
