    	    	Вступление

[Intro]
Bb

[Verse 1]
Bb                     Eb
Old Red was one of the orneriest yet
    Bb                  F
I'd seen at the big rodeo
     Bb                        Eb
He'd bite you and kick you and stomp out your life
F                      Bb
Old Red had never been rode

[Verse 2]
Bb               Eb
Meaner than sin, wild as the wind
     Bb                  F
That blew on the Montana plains
Bb                     Eb
Old Red was one of the last of his breed
    F                  Bb
And wasn't about to be tamed

[Chorus 1]
Eb            Bb
From Idaho, a young cowboy came
   F                   Bb
To ride in the big rodeo
    Bb             Eb       Bb
The young cowboy's name was Billy McClain
    F                    Bb
And Billy had never been thrown

[Verse 3]
    Bb          Eb         Bb
The greatest desire filled young Billy's heart
   F                           Bb
To ride this old outlaw called Red
   Bb           Eb        Bb
He drew him one day and I heard Billy say
      F                     Bb
"I'll ride him or drop over dead"

[Verse 4]
Bb          Eb          Bb
Old Red was wicked down there in the chute
       F                     Bb
He was kickin' and stompin' about
Bb            Eb       Bb
Billy dropped into the saddle with ease
    F                            Bb
And said, "Turn him loose let us out"

[Chorus 2]
Eb                        Bb
Old Red came out with his head on the ground
    F                             Bb
His back hooves were touching his nose
Bb            Eb         Bb
Tryin' to get rid of the man on his back
        F                      Bb
But the man went wherever he'd go

[Interlude]
Bb  C

[Verse 5]
C         F          C
Billy was rakin' old Red with his spurs
         G                      C
From his tail to the tip of his chin
       C           F        C
He was doin' right well but Billy could tell
     G                       C
This outlaw would never give in

[Verse 6]
C           F       C
Old Red was bucking straight for the fence
G                       C
Suddenly stopped in and then
   C             F              C
He reared on his hind legs then fell on his back
G                      C
Taking poor Billy with him

[Chorus 3]
F                       C
There was a hush in the crowd, for they knew
G                          C
This would be Billy's last ride
    C           F               C
The saddle horn crushed Billy's chest when they fell
    G                   C
And under old Red Billy died

[Verse 7]
C           F        C
Old Red lay still no more would he move
    G                          C
The cowboys that seen it could tell
   C         F           C
In tryin' to throw Billy off of his back
    G                          C
Old Red broke his neck when he fell

[Outro]
F                      C
Out in the west is the place where they rest
     G                     C
This cowboy that never was thrown
    C         F           C
And one foot away resting there neath the clay
       G                     C
Is the outlaw that never was rode
