Verse 1:

    F           D7
The other day I took a ride,
    G7
But not in a machine
   Gm7        C7
It was a buggy ride
        C+               F
With my sweetheart by my side

    A7
Now making love going fifty miles an hour
Dm       A7          Dm
Don'tcom-pare with a one horse power
C          E7   A7
Man-y cars I've tried
    Dm        G7    C7  C+
But give me a buggy ride

Chorus:

F              C+
Thanks for the buggy ride
F
Thanks for the buggy ride
G7
I had a wonderful time

C7          C
No smell of gasoline
C7                    C
Just an old-fashioned team
F        Dm
It was a wonderful treat
   G7                 C7
To hear the patter of horse's feet

F             C+
My bones were nearly broke
F
I took it as a joke
G7
It was all new to me

      Bb                        Bbm7
Cause I was used to riding in a big limousine
    F                              Am6     D7
But buggy ridin' lovin' sure beats  any ma-chine

      F
Now al-though I lost my pride
G7
Thanks for the buggy ride
Gm7     C7        F   FdimC7
I had a wonderful time

Verse 2:

    F                 D7
Now since I took that buggy ride
       G7
That's all I want to do
   Gm7               C7
No more machines for me
       C+                F
Taking chances hitting a tree

A7
Let me give you some sensible advice
 Dm    A7      Dm
Abuggy ride is awful nice
C             E7  A7
Tho' its' not the style
    Dm        G7       C7   C+
The ride sure is worth-while

Chorus Repeat:
F
