RIDER IN THE RAIN - RANDY NEWMAN
Slow, relaxed, like if yer riding a horse, kinda.
Got a gun in my holster, got a horse between my knees
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:
He's a rider in the rain
He's a rider in the rain
and I'm goin' to Arizona
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:
(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.
