COWBOY SONGS - "git along dogies" Tablature

This is probably the most notable of all cowboy songs. In a capsule, it
portrays the history of cattle raising, the business that created the
cowboy. The first verse details it all. Note that we "ride" along. We
don't gallop, don't cantor, don't trot--we wear our hat, you'll never see
us without our hat. The only extravagance portrayed here is what is known
as "jinglebobs" on his spurs. Jinglebobs, that is the real name, no-kiddin',
are those things that make Clint Eastwood go "ching-ching-ching" as he
walks down the dusty street and wastes the bad-guys in those great
"spaghetti" westerns. Some guys will tell you that the "music" of the
jinglebobs tended to keep the cattle calm on the drives. Sounds as good as
anything I guess.
