[F] Got a gun in my [C]holster
[F] Got a horse between my [C]knees
And I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona
Pardon [G]me, boys[G/B], if you [C]please
[F] I have been a despe[C]rado
Raped and [F]pillaged 'cross the [C]plain
Now, I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona

[F] And my bride's in Tennes[C]see
So, I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona

He's a [Am]rider in the [C]rain (I'm a rider in the rain)
He's a [F]rider in the [C]rain
And I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona
He's a [G]rid[G/B]er in the [C]rain
Used to [F]work in Uncle's [C]feed store
While he was [F]fightin' in the [C]war
Now I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona
Ain't gonna [G]work[G/B] for him no [C]more
I'm the [F]son of the [C]prairie
And the [F]wind that sweeps the [C]plain
So, I'm [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona
Just a [G]rider [G/B]in the[C] rain
I'm a [Am]rider in the [C]rain
I'm a [F]rider in the [C]rain
And he's [F]goi[F#dim]n' to Ari[C/G]zona
Just a [G]rid[G/B]er in the [C]rain
He's a [Am]rider in the [C]rain (I'm a rider in the rain)
