The Last Ride chords by
Hank Snow
Hank Snow

N/A
Intro 1
D
G

Verse 1
G

In the Dodge City yards

of the Santa Fe
D

Stood a freight made up for the east

And the engineer with his oil and waste
G

Was groomin' the great iron beast
Verse 2
G

While ten cars back in the murky dust
C

A box- car door swung wide
D

And a hobo lifted his pal aboard
G

To start on his last long ride
Verse 3
C

A lantern swung and the

freight pulled out
G

The engine, it gathered speed
C

The engineer pulled the throttle wide
A
D

And clucked to his fiery steed
Verse 4
G

Ten cars back in the empty box
D

The hobo rolled a pill
A

The flare of the match showed
D

his partners' face
G

Stark white and deathly still
Verse 5
G

As the train wheels clicked on

the couplin' joints
C

A song for the rambler's ear
D

The hobo talked to the still white form

His pal for many a year
G
Verse 6


For a mighty long time,

we've rambled, Jack
D

With the luck of men that roam

With the back door steps for a dining room

And the box- car for a home
G
Verse 7


We dodged the bulls on
C

the eastern route
G

And the cops on the Chesapeake
D

We traveled the Leadville narrow gauge
G

In the days of Cripple Creek
Verse 8
G

We drifted down through sunny Cal
D

On the rails of the old SP

And of all you had, through good and bad
G

A half always belong to me
Verse 9
G


You made me promise to you, Jack
D

If I lived and you cashed in
Bb

To take you back to the old churchyard
D

And bury you there with your kin
G
Verse 10


You seemed to know I

would keep my word
D

For you said that I was wild

Well, I'm keepin' my promise to you,

pal

'Cause I'm takin' you home tonight
G
Verse 11


I hadn't the money to send you there
D

So, I'm takin' you back on the fly

It's the decent way for a 'bo to go
G

Home to the by and by
Verse 12
G

I knew that fever had you, Jack
D

And that doctor just wouldn't come

He was too busy treatin' the wealthy folks

To doctor a worn out bum
G
Verse 13


As the train rolled over its

ribbon of steel
D

Straight through to the east, it sped

The engineer in his high cab seat
G

Kept his eye on the rails ahead
Verse 14
G

While ten cars back in the

empty box
C

The lonely hobo sighed
D

For the days of old and his pal so cold
Outro 1

Was taking his last long ride
G

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
