Tonight We Ride-crd Tom Russell
Poncho Villa[C] crossed the border, in th[F]e year of ought 16[C]
The p[C]eople of Columbus still[G] hear him riding through their dreams
He killed 17[Am] civilians, you[F] could hear the women scream
Black Jack Pe[C]rshing on a dancing horse, was w[G]aiting in the wings
Tonight w[Am]e ride, tonight[Em] we ride
We?ll s[F]kin ol? Poncho Villa, [C]make chaps out of his hide[G]
Shoot his hor[Am]se Siete Leguas and his[F] 27 brides
Tonight w[C]e rid[F]e, tonight we rid[C]e
[C]We rode for three long years ?til Black Jack Pershing calle[F]d it quits[C]
[C]When Jackie wasn?t lookin, I stole[G] his fine spaid bit
It was ti[Am]ed upon his stallion, so I ro[F]de away on it
To the wi[C]ld Chihuahuan desert, so dry yo[G]u couldn?t spit
Tonight w[Am]e ride, you bastards da[Em]re
We?ll k[F]ill the wild Apac[C]he for the bounty on his [G]hair
Then we?ll rid[Am]e into Durango, climb up th[F]e whorehouse stairs
Tonight w[C]e ride[F], tonight we ride[C]
[C]When I?m too damn old to sit a horse, I?ll[F] steal the warden?s car[C]
[C]Break my ass out of this prison, [G]leave my teeth there in a jar
You don?t need[Am] no teeth for kissin gals or [F]smokin cheap cigars
I?ll [C]sleep with one eye open,[G] beneath God?s celestial stars
Tonight w[Am]e rock, tonight [Em]we roll
We?ll rob[F] the Juarez liqour [C]store for the reposado gold[G]
And if we drin[Am]k ourselves to death, ain?t that the cowboy way to [F]go?
Tonight w[C]e ride[F], tonight we ride[C]
Tonight w[Am]e fly, we?re hea[Em]din west
Towards the[F] mountains and the[C] ocean where the eagle makes hi[G]s nest
If our b[Am]ones bleach on the desert, we?ll consider we [F]are blessed
Tonight w[C]e rid[F]e, tonight [C]we ride
Tonight w[C]e rid[F]e, tonight [C]we ride
