[Intro]
Am F Am F
[Verse 1]
Am F
I grew up with stories 'bout the ghost of boot hill
C G
Teddy Blue Abbott and Scandalous Bill
Am F
Them boys are all gone now, them holes have been filled
C G
By bodies of cowboys who left no wills
G Am F
And some are sadder than hell
[Verse 2]
Am F
You only hear them stories when you're out on the range
C G
With real old boys on the real old plains
Am F
Not rodeo riders or farmers of land
C G
Not a singer in a barroom, or an Ag. Businessman
G Am F
Just sad old campfire tales
[Verse 3]
Am F
And I heard this story back when I was a kid
C G
About a crafty wild stallion and he stole mares and hid
Am F
They couldn't kill him 'cause he stayed out of range
C G
He was a saber toothed rocket with a human brain
G Am F
The king of the plains
[Verse 4]
Am F
And Old Tex watched him for many a year
C G
And he followed his hoof steps and learned what he feared
Am F
He staked out four geldings, the fastest he had
C G
In twenty mile stretches, 'cross a hundred mile of land
G Am F
Gumbo and Hardpan
[Verse 5]
Am F
And early next mornin' he spotted his prey
C G
And he built to the stallion on his horse named Bay
Am F
And they jumped two fences as they tore 'cross the plains
C G
Hazin' that stallion t'wards the next horse exchange
G Am F
And gave Bay the reins
[Verse 6]
Am F
And he got off Bay all lathered and sore
C G
And he saddled up Red and went a'runnin' some more
Am F
Chasing that stallion 'cross badlands and sage
C G
With the stallion and Tex all caught in a rage
G Am F
Of this horse that won't cage
[Verse 7]
Am F
The next horse was Buck, when it came down to swap
C G
The hot afternoon sun had old Red 'bout to drop
Am F
Buck was sure-footed and quick on his feet
C G
And they went chasin' the stallion in the Montana heat
G Am F
The stud ain't missin' a beat
[Verse 8]
Am F
The last horse was Blackie with the sun gettin' low
C G
And that old western horizon beginnin' to glow
Am F
The stallion he stumbled and fell with his pride
C G
But got up a'runnin' and damn how he tried
G Am F
And then he fell and died
[Verse 9]
Am F
I've talked about horses but I ain't mentioned Tex
C G
With blood on his chaps, from them blisters that bled
Am F
A hundred miles runnin' had taken its toll
C G
That old stud was his hero, his heart and his soul
G Am F
'Til now he didn't know
[Verse 10]
Am F
Tex looked on the ground where he died
C G
And a defiant look was still a glare in his eye
Am F
The stallion had stumbled and died in the sage
C G
It all represented the end of an age
G Am F
The end of an age
[Verse 11]
Am F
I grew up with stories 'bout the ghost of boot hill
C G
Teddy Blue Abbot and Scandalous Bill
Am F
Them boys are all gone now, them holes have been filled
C G
By bodies of cowboys who left no wills
G Am F
And some are sadder than hell
[Outro]
Am F
And some are sadder than hell
Am
And some are sadder than hell
