Stampede

    F                                    C
Stampede (stampede) they're comin' up to draw
    C                     G
Stampede (stampede) three thousand herd or more
          C                            F                C
Here they come a smokin' fire boys you better earn your hire
    C   F  G             C
Stampede    and hell to score


[Verse 2]
    C                               F             C
Now Frank he was my partner he rode point upon my heart
   C                                      G
We drank and fought and partnered back to back at troubles start
   C                                F               C
We heard the call on evening in the thunder and the black
         C                                 G             C
When the lightnin' hit the leaders and the devil led the pack


[Chorus]
    F                                    C
Stampede (stampede) they're comin' up to draw
    C                     G
Stampede (stampede) three thousand herd or more
          C                            F                C
Here they come a smokin' fire boys you better earn your hire
    C   F  G             C
Stampede    and hell to score


[Verse 3]
    C                          F                C
Our horses they were handy for we had just rode in
   C                            G
We went from drinkin' coffee to thinkin' of our sins
      C                                 F              C
There wasn't time for prayin' there was hardly time to cuss
C                                       G               C
It was a smokin' roarin' rattle and the leaders were on us


[Chorus]
    F                                    C
Stampede (stampede) they're comin' up to draw
    C                     G
Stampede (stampede) three thousand herd or more
          C                            F                C
Here they come a smokin' fire boys you better earn your hire
    C   F  G             C
Stampede    and hell to score


[Verse 4]
            C                                  F                  C
Old Frank's foot it missed the stirrup and his hand it missed the horn
    C                                  G
And as the cattle crossed him from his body life was torn
      C                           F               C
I was mounted and a ridin' when I heard his final yell
         C                              G             C
Said hey Johnny head the wild bunch and do the ladies well


[Chorus]
    F                                    C
Stampede (stampede) they're comin' up to draw
    C                     G
Stampede (stampede) three thousand herd or more
          C                            F                C
Here they come a smokin' fire boys you better earn your hire
    C   F  G             C
Stampede    and hell to score


[Verse 5]
      C                              F                     C
No, I ain't got no partner cause old Frank's done dead and gone
         C                     G
But just so he'd be remembered Peter put him in this song
C                            F                    C
Some admire headstones but I think he'd like this best
           C                               G            C
He weren't fancy in his livin' so he ain't fancy in his rest


[Chorus]
    F                                    C
Stampede (stampede) they're comin' up to draw
    C                     G
Stampede (stampede) three thousand herd or more
          C                            F                C
Here they come a smokin' fire boys you better earn your hire
    C      F  G                  C
Stampede (stampede) and hell to score
