(Wayne Taylor/Forty WAT Music, BMI)
Pretty easy stuff. Here we go!
Intro: A D A D A E A
[A]Ridin' through the night, on the Danville pike,
[D]Gotta be there by the break of day[A]light.
Twenty five miles is all I [D]like,
I'm [A]ridin' the [E]Danville [A]pike.
Dobro solo: A D A D A E A
[A]He was the fastest horse anyone had seen,
he [D]was a Sorrel pony he was tall and [A]lean.
He'd meet every challenge if they think they [D]must,
he'd [A]leave 'em breathin' heavy in a [E]cloud of [A]dust.
It was just about dark on a Friday night,
not a [D]cloud in the sky and the moon was [A]bright.
We were bound to do somethin' that had never been [D]done,
Make it [A]all the way to Danville on an [E]overnight [A]run.
Banjo solo: A D A D A E A
Mando solo: A D A D A E A
[A]Big Jim Grayson was a man of means,
he [D]had more money than a poor boy's [A]dreams.
He said here's five hundred dollars cause I know I'm [D]right,
you'll [A]never make Danville by the [E]mornin' [A]light.
Well the watch from my pocket say's it's half past four.
[D]Give up the rein and he begs for [A]more.
With a whole lot of heart and a little [D]luck,
We'll be [A]drinking from the Dan' when the [E]sun comes [A]up.
Intro repeat: A D A D A E A
[A]Ridin' through the night, on the Danville pike,
[D]Gotta be there by the break of day[A]light.
Twenty five miles is all I [D]like,
I'm [A]ridin' the [E]Danville [A]pike.
Outro: A D A E A
