Chestnut Mare

D   A6   Bm
Always alone,
G     G/F#       A7
never with a     herd
D         A6        Bm
Prettiest mare I've ever seen,
G      G/F#            A7
you'll have to take my word

G   G/F#      Em         A7    
I'm going to  catch that horse 
     D  A6  Bm
if I can
G   G/F#      Em         A7    
and when I    do I'll give her 
     D  A6  Bm
my brand

D          A6             Bm
Well I was up on Stony Ridge
G          G/F#           
after this chestnut mare, been 
Em                   A7
chasing her for weeks
D          A6             Bm
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every 
once in a while

G     G/F#       Em    A7 
taking her meal, bathing, 
(A7sus A7)  D
fine lady
A6             Bm
This one day I happen to be real 
close to her
G                         G/F#    
and I saw her standing over there
 Em

    A7               D   A6 Bm
so I snuck up on her nice and easy
                G G/F#
got my rope out
Em                      A7
and I flung it in the air!

I'm going to  catch that horse 
     D  A6  Bm
if I can
G   G/F#      Em         A7    
and when I    do I'll give her 
     D  A6  Bm
my brand
G   G/F#     Em
And we'll be friends for life
G      G/F#           Em
She'll be just like a wife
G   G/F#     Em         A7      
I'm going to catch that horse if
   D  A6  Bm
 I can

And I got her and I'm pulling on her
And she's pulling back like this 
mule going up a ladder
And I take a choice and I jump right
 up on her
Damned if I don't land right on top 
of her
And she takes off, running up onto 
the ridge
higher than I've ever been before
She's running along just fine
'til she stops and something spooked
 her
it's a sidewinder, all coiled and 
ready to strike
she doesn't know what to do for a 
second,
but then, she jumps off the edge, me
 holding on

(Canyon music!)

D     A       B       C           
C/B bass    Em
Above the hills, higher than eagles 
were gliding
Eb F#  G                D
suspended in the sky
D
over the hill
A  B
C                C/B          Em
straight for the sun we were riding
E  F#
G            G/F#           Asus
my eyes were filled    with light

D
behind those black walls
A        B       C C/B         Em
below was a bottomless canyon
Eb  F#
G                D
floating with no sound
D
ghosts far below
A  B
C            C/B      Em
seemed to be suddenly rising
G         G/F#      Asus
exploding all around

(chorus)
We were falling
down this crevice
about about a mile down it seem
and I looked down
And I see this red thing below us 
coming up real fast
and it's our reflection that's
this little pool of water about six 
feet wide and one foot deep
We're falling down right through it
We hit, we splashed it dry
that's when I lost my hold
and she got away
but I'm gonna try and get her again 
some day

(chorus)
