Slow Rider Johnny Cash Tab or Music?

Robert Allen · From: Tennessee, USA

One of my students wants to learn the Johnny Cash song, Slow Rider. I don't know the tune, can't find tab or music. Does anyone have this in tab or musical notation, any tuning, any instrument? I can transpose to dobro. I tried Sheet Music Plus, Hal Leonard and more. The version on You Tube has 10 minutes of talking to wade through to get to the song.

Hi Robert,
Slow Rider is from the Johnny Cash album "Ride This Train" which is available on Spotify. There's also a good tune called "Poppa Played the Dobro" which obviously has some good Dobro stuff on it.

SLOW RIDER
J. Cash

Key: Eb / CAPO: 1st / Play: D

VERSE:
D
I ride an old paint he's on the weary side
D A D
And I'm a saddle tramp about to cross the Great Divide
D A D
Where there's grass in the coolies and water in the draw
D A D
And a forty pound saddle won't make us both raw

CHORUS:
D A D
Slow rider, Slow rider move on a little more
D A D
The sky boss is waiting at the big ranch house door

VERSE:
I can't help but miss them the daughters that I had
One went to Denver the other went bad
My young wife died in a pool room fight
But I try to keep singin' from morin' til night

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE:
Whenever I die take my saddle from the wall
Strap it on Snuffie lead him out of the stall
Throw me on his back and turn him towards to west
He know how to take me to the spot I love best

Hope it helps
Keith.

Thanks Keith. Once I had the title of the album I was able to find the track on CD Universe and download the mp3 for 99 cents. I was always afraid to play Papa Played the Dobro because Gibson might sue me. Smile
