Intro: (Spoken)
G
Me and my son were in a tack shop one day, 
Cadd9                                D
he'd just got a pony for his seventh birthday.
G
He needed a rig and we found one he liked 
Cadd9 	  	  	  	  	  	 D
and I was tryin’ to get the old feller to come down off his price and he said son,
let me give you some cowboy advice


Verse I:
G                                   G/B 	 
There's a few things a man needs to know
Cadd9                            D
As he travels this trail we call life
G 	  	  	    G/B
Like don't ever eat yellow snow
Cadd9                           D
Or bed down with a tougher mans wife
Am              C/B              C
Get your water upstream from the herd
Am              C/B              C
But the best lesson I've ever learned is

Chorus:
 	  	    G 	 
Good saddles ain't cheap
                   G/B
But there're worth every dime
                   Cadd9
And you'll be glad you've got one
                   D     D/C   D/B  D/A
When you're on a long ride
 	  	    G 	 
You know a deal and a bargain
 	  	    G/B  	 
Are often misunderstood

Good saddles ain't cheap
                   D     D/C   D/B  D/A
Cheap saddles ain't good


Verse II:
G
Said, you might save yourself a few dollars
Cadd9 	  	  	 D
Feel pretty smart at the time
G
But there's nothing that hurts any smarter
Cadd9                   D
Than a galled raw blistered behind
Am              C/B              C
And you're vertebrae’s all out of whack
Am              C/B              C
Not to mention your poor horses back

Bridge:
Am                 C/B         Cadd9
It depends on what you want to spend
Am                 C/B         Cadd9
But you get what you pay for my friend


Chorus:
                   G
