Caballo Diablo

Am                   G      F   
Wild as a coastal barranca, 
                      E
swift as the wind blowing free
     Am                            
With two eyes like fire brands that
 G
 glow in the night
          F                        
Somewhere up there he's waiting for
 E
 me
    Am                       G 
And he knows that I'm coming for 
            F                    
him, and I just can't rest 'til I 
    E
find
     Am                        G
That raven black stallion that wears
 no man's brand
       F                        
with a wild restless spirit like 
 E
mine

[Chorus]
Am                      G        
They call him Caballo Diablo, 
                        Am
half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a 
F         G       Am
top the Sierra Madre

[Verse 2]
Am                      G         
Two men before tried to take him, 
F                            E
they had their chance one by one

    Am                          
But each met his fate when those 
  G
flashing black hooves
        F                         E
brought death 'neath the Mexican sun
Am                          G    
Still I can't leave, I must find 
         F                         
him, you fool of a horse can't you 
 E
see?
  Am                        G  
I may be half man, but the other 
                F            
half's devil, and you're just 
                E
exactly like me

[Chorus]
Am                      G        
They call him Caballo Diablo, 
                        Am
half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a 
F         G       Am
top the Sierra Madre

[Verse 3]
Am                          G    
Even the breeze has stopped 
      F             E
movin' all hush now, be still
Am                        G
Don't make a sound, stay close to 
the ground
          F                     E
Cuz he's waitin' just over that hill
Am                         G     
Down wind behind him move 
        F                    
quickly, do it fast now, he's 
      E
startin' to stir

       Am                    G
Grab a handful of mane, then up on 
to his back,
    F                            
And start rakin' him down with my 
  E
spurs
    Am                       G    
But try as he will he can't shake 
       F                    E
me as over the precipice we go
   Am                       G     
To shed the life blood of a horse 
                 F              E
and a man on the rocky sierra below

[Chorus]
Am                      G        
They call him Caballo Diablo, 
                        Am
half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a 
F         G       Am
top the Sierra Madre
