verse 1 
C 
Jake ridin' south on the holiest day 
C 
Headin' for the Mexican border 
C 
Shotgun movin' to the rhythm of his range 
C 
Just to help him keep law and order 
C 
Sits right back just a-takin' it easy 
C 
Drinks a shot a whiskey 
                        B 
And it makes him mighty wheezy 
C 
He coughed hard once 
C 
He coughed hard twice 
C 
Neglecting keeping watch 
                  F         C    F          Bb 
Don't mind the sheriff's advice,   oh yeah 


F       C 
 Ridin' shotgun 
                F 
Runnin' over land 
                  G 
To the Rio Grande now

verse 2 
C 
Shots rang down from the rocks above 
C 
And bore Jake to his feet 
C 
His pants fell down and actin' like a clown 
C 
The bullets had him dancin' to a rock 'n' roll beat 
C 
Big Jake did the boogaloo too 
                            B 
Got lucky, he cried like a drunk 
C                                 G 
His aspirations ain't no more for you 
C                        F 
And that's the way it is 


F      C 
 Ridin' shotgun 
Dm                 F 
  Runnin' over land 
                  G    C    G    C  G 
To the Rio Grande now

verse 3 
C 
Stage got in to the center of town 
C 
And Jake gotta have himself a drink 
C 
He got to the bar and what he saw 
                                            G 
Any self-respecting folk would hate to think 
C                                          Bb 
Ella May was dancin' to the sound of the blues 
    C 
Her belly must be wobblin' right down to her shoes 
                     G           C 
It's a-groovin' on the sidewalk, just don't get too near 
                                                        F 
'Cause you're gonna get knocked over by a belly full o' beer 


F     Bb  C 
Ridin'       shotgun 
Dm 
   Runnin' over land 
   C         F 
To the Rio Grande 
         F 
Take the law in hand 
                  G 
To the Rio Grande now
