Stampede

D                      C
We made camp along Red River
            G                     
Watched the cattle as they bedded 
D
down
Back at the wagons, right after 
C
supper
G                          D
Spread our bedrolls on the ground
           G                   D
And me and Willie, we took the night
 guard
        G                     D
And the sage never smelled so sweet
            G                 D
The prairie moon, was blazin' silver
            C               D
No chance tonight for a stampede

                            C
Way over yonder, off in the distance
            G                      
Towards the mountains there in the 
D
west
Did I see lightnin', did I hear 
C
thunder
            G                      
The mind is weary, I could use some
 D
 rest
            G                    
Then all at once, the wind shifts 
    D
directions
                G                  
The clouds roll in behind the 
  D
tumble weeds
Continúa después del anuncio
               G                   
Those longhorn cattle, are gettin' 
D
restless
            C                D
God help us all, if they stampede

                         C
Smell the rain, hear the thunder
             G                  
The midnight sky, turns black as 
 D
death
The lightnin' crashes, smell the 
C
sulphur
              G                 
It's rank and strong, as Satan's 
 D
breath
           G                 
The cattle rise up, and go to 
 D
runnin'
          G                    D
I spur my pony on and take the lead
               G               
And across the herd, I can hear 
        D
Willie yellin'
C       D
Hey Stampede!

[Instrumental]
D C G D

            D            C
Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls
           G                       
They mix together, turn the air to 
D
mud
                           C
I feel the longhorns brush against 
me
               G                   
I can feel the demons racing 
     D
through my blood
            G             D
Then all at once, my pony stumbles
           G                       
We hit the ground, I rise up to my 
D
knees
              G                    
In a flash of light, I can see the 
       D
cattle comin'
                      C          
Lord I know I'm gonna die in this 
     D
stampede

                          C
Then I awake, and I look around me
          G                        
I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on
     D
 the ground
Over there's the wagon, and there's 
    C
the campfire
           G                    
I was only dreamin', what's that 
 D
sound?
               G            
And I feel the earth tremble 
      D
underneath me
                G             D
As the midnight sky begins to bleed
             G                   
And from the blackness I can hear 
        D
Willie yellin'
C       D
Hey Stampede
