Trick Rider
By McBride and the Ride
The D/C D/B run is a walkdown into Am like so:
[Am]
E-----0---
D----1---
G-----2---
D----2---
A-3-2-0---
E---------
I [G]learned back when I was six
[C]Teachin' my stick horse to do tricks
[G]Puttin' on a backyard ro[D]deo
If I'd [G]make him buck, hoop and holler
[C]Grandma'd laugh and give me a dollar
Its a l[G]esson that I learned, al[D]l on my o[G]wn
Chorus:
Gotta be a [G]trick rider, can't be a [D]part-timer
If he's gonna [Am]make a dollar, [C]one thing I [D]know
You can be a [G]fancy roper, have a [D]wild desire[D/C][D/B]
Oh the [Am]trick [C/B]rider [C]always [D]steals the [G]show
I figured out just how to please 'em
Make the hard ones look so easy
Out there is the spot light all alone
I always tried to do my best
I praticed hard and faked the rest
They always got their money's worth everywhere I'd go
Chorus
Instrumental
I've been thrown off many times since then
I always got back on again
I found that if I tipped my hat for style
Folks out there would never know
They'd think it was part of the show
I could ride off in the sunset
Leave 'em with a smile
Chorus
Yeah, a Trick rider always steals the show
Instrumental out
