My Pony Knows the Way

Capo 3rd fret


C   F   G   C   G7   C   F   G   C


    C                                 F
The Chisholm Trail became the road to Disneyland
G7                              C - G7
After Billy the Kid came Lash LaRue.
    C                              F
The only longhorns left are in the movies;
    G7                           C
The only buffalo left are in the zoo.


       F                       C
But my pony, my pony knows the way back home.
   G7                                    C
My pony loves his stall and he wants his hay.
                          C7
This night air just might sober me some,
   F                       D7/F#
My head is poundin' like a Cherokee drum,
       C        G7             C
But my pony, my pony knows the way.

Friday evenings I go in to Tahlequah;
I get myself a haircut and a steak.
I buy myself a pint of something awful,
I go and make another big mistake.

'Cause my pony, my pony knows the way back home.
My pony loves his stall and he wants his hay.
This night air just might sober me some,
My head is poundin' like a Cherokee drum,
But my pony, my pony knows the way.

Halfway home I sometimes get this feelin',
Wonderin' why I'm still alone tonight.
Then I check the bottle in my pocket,
And if it ain't empty, I'm alright.

'Cause my pony, my pony knows the way back home.
My pony loves his stall and he wants his hay.
This night air just might sober me some,
My head is poundin' like a Cherokee drum,
But my pony, my pony knows the way.
This night air just might sober me some,
My head is poundin' like a Cherokee drum,
But my pony, my pony knows the way.

    C          G7         C
Yodelayee, yodelayee, yodelayee.
