[Verse 1]
Gm                   F            Gm            F
Cup of strong black coffee, would be good about now
Gm                   F
Knock the trail dust off me
Bb              C
Deliver me somehow
Gm             F            Gm               F
Every new day breaking, is another day I’ll find
Gm               F                Bb                    C
With every trail I’m taking, I’m gonna leave a trail behind


[Chorus]
F              Ab        G
Hell bent for leather I ride
           F            C        G  Gm
And I’m a far cry from settling down
F             Ab          Gm
Ain’t no-one breaking my stride
          F          C               G   F G F G F
I’m hell bent, hell bent and saddle bound


[Verse 1]
Gm                   F
Cup of strong black coffee
Gm                             F
You’re probably having yours about now
Gm                            F
Wondering if the trail thats got me
Bb                            C
Could ever bring me back somehow
       Gm                           F
No but that ain’t the way that the wind blows
    Gm                     F
And it could never let me stay
    Gm            F            Bb              C
And you and I we both know its only taking me away


[chorus]
F              Ab        G
Hell bent for leather I ride
           F            C        G  Gm
And I’m a far cry from settling down
F             Ab           C
Ain’t no-one breaking my stride
     F               C               G   Gm
I’m hell bent, hell bent and saddle bound.

[Bridge]
F                      Gm
Even when they put me under
Bb                    Gm
Part of me will never die
F                             G
You'll hear me in a crack of thunder
Bb                     C
Riding in a lightning sky


[Chorus]
F              Ab        Gm
Hell bent for leather I ride
           F            C       Gm
And I’m a far cry from settling down
F              Ab         Gm
Ain’t no-one breaking my stride
          F          C               Gm
I’m hell bent, hell bent and saddle bound

Hell bent and saddle bound

Hell bent and saddle bound

Hell bent and saddle bound
