[Intro]
F#m E D A
Bm E A
[Verse]
E E
Daddy shoulda been a preacher man
A A
Cause everybody loved to hear him speak
E E
He didn't always follow his own advice
A E
But we got a sermon every week
F#m D
He'd say, Trouble always starts as fun
A E
And broken hearts will always mend
F#m D
Tough times don't last, tough people do
Bm E E
And nothing breaks if it can bend
[Chorus]
D
Don't ever sell your saddle
D A A
Never owe another man
Bm E
Watch where you spit on a windy day
A A
Don't use words you don't understand
D D
Find the Lord before you need Him
F#m F#m
And never lose your pride
Bm A
Don't ever sell your saddle
D E A
Cause life's a long, long ride
[Bridge]
A F#m E D
A Bm E A
[Verse]
E E
Daddy never ran from anything
A A
Always took his share of the blame
E E
Had a heart big enough to fill a valley up
A E
But hard enough to stop a train
F#m D
He said, Only fight when you have to
A E
Because there's always a faster gun
F#m D
And you'll know a hero from a coward
Bm E
When you see which way they run
[Chorus]
E D
Don't ever sell your saddle
D A A
Never owe another man
Bm E
Watch where you spit on a windy day
A A
Don't use words you don't understand
D D
Find the Lord before you need Him
F#m F#m
And never lose your pride
Bm A
Don't ever sell your saddle
D E A A
Cause life's a long, long ride
[Bridge]
G D
Daddy left me his old saddle
A E
The day that he passed on
G D
And these words are etched into my mind
E A E
Just like they were in stone
[Chorus]
E D
Don't ever sell your saddle
D A A
Never owe another man
Bm E
Watch where you spit on a windy day
A A
Don't use words you don't understand
D
Find the Lord before you need Him
D F#m F#m
And never lose your pride
Bm A
Don't ever sell your saddle
D E A F#m
Cause life's a long, long ride
[Outro]
Bm A
Don't ever sell your saddle
D E
Cause life's a long
A
Long ride
A F#m E D
A Bm E A A
