Вступление
Prairie Fire by Marty Robbins
on the "More Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs" Album from 1960
Capo on 5th Fret
[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am
While drivin' a herd of cattle out in old Nebraska way
Dm Am E Am
Headin' east at Broken Bow one hot September day
Am Dm Am
Tryin' to get to Omaha we hoped to find a buyer
Dm Am E Am
We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
A hot south wind was blowin' and the air was gettin' dry
Dm Am E Am
Somethin' far away was spellin' trouble in the sky
Am Dm Am
Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir
Dm Am E Am
Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
[Chorus 1]
Am G F E
When all at once a flame is seen a lickin' at the sky
Am G F E
And every heart is quicker and there's fear in every eye
Am F Am
We'd just one chance to get away for there's no place to hide
F Am E Am
Gotta reach the river Platte one inch deep and one mile wide
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am
The herd is gettin' tired but we've got no time to rest
Dm Am E Am
I try to clear the red dust that is gatherin' in my chest
Am Dm Am
From ridin' tail on a thousand head with the weather gettin' dry
Dm Am E Am
The black cloud in the west is warning ride ride ride
[Chorus 2]
Am G F E
The roarin' heat is closer ashes fallin' by our side
Am G F E
And every breeze is burnin' singin' with its warnin' cry
Am F Am
We've got to reach the river but it's still ten miles or more
F Am E Am
And close behind us we can hear that wild infernal roar
[Verse 4]
Am Dm Am
But fate had other plans for we lost that fatal race
Dm Am E Am
We lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace
Am Dm Am
The mighty Platte subdued its rage but none were there to rest
Dm Am E Am
We did our best to get away but only I am left
[Chorus 3]
Am G F E
Now on the blackened prairie far as the eye can see
Am G F E
The grim remains are there to show that God rules you and me
Am F Am
Just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire
F Am E Am
We lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire
