Intro: E   G* E    G* E    G* A    G* E  (x2)

Verse 1.

E               G
Rollin' down a long highway
A                        G
Out through New Mexico
E                  G
Driftin' down to Santa Fe
           A                G
To ride a bull in a rodeo
E                  G
He's hooked on a feelin
A                             G
Addicted to a natural high
E                       G
Don't know why its appealin
         A
All he knows is he's got to ride


Chorus:
C        D         E
Hes addicted to danger
C            D          E
Ruled by passion and pride
    C        D              E
To pain and fear hes no stranger
         C                  D
But his lust needs to be satisfied
C            D         E       (repeat intro)
Hooked on an 8 second ride


Verse 2.
E                     G
Getting hooked up in back of the chutes
A                       G
Makes the rosin burn 
E                          G
Hes got his spurs on the heels of his boots
           A                  G
Hes at the point of no return
E                    G
Climbin' over that shoot gate
A                        G
He settles down inside
E                 G
The tensions risin

But he cant wait
           A
untill they turn that bull outside

(Repeat Chorus)
A                      E
Hooked on an 8 second ride
A                      E
Hooked on an 8 second ride



(*) ö One down stroke

Once you get the rhythm down to this song, its fairly easy to play 
with 
the
one down strokes and sometimes youll hear two down strokes.
