Always alone,
/F#bass never with a herd
Prettiest mare I've ever seen,
/F#bass you'll have to take my word
bass I'm going to catch that horse if I can
bass and when I do I'll give her my brand
Well I was up on Stony Ridge
/F#bass after this chestnut mare, been chasing her for weeks
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
/F#bass (sus taking her meal, bathing, fine lady
This one day I happen to be real close to her
/F#bass and I saw her standing over there
so I snuck up on her nice and easy
/F#bass got my rope out
and I flung it in the air!
CHORUS
bass I'm going to catch that horse if I can
bass and when I do I'll give her my brand
/F#bass And we'll be friends for life
/F#bass She'll be just like a wife
/F#bass I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And I got her and I'm pulling on her And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder And I take a choice and I jump right up on her Damned if I don't land right on top of her And she takes off, running up onto the ridge higher than I've ever been before She's running along just fine 'til she stops and something spooked her it's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike she doesn't know what to do for a second, but then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on
(Canyon music!)
(A bass, bass) bass Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding
(Ebass, bass)
suspended in the sky
over the hill
(A bass, bass) bass straight for the sun we were riding
(E bass, bass) bass my eyes were filled with light
behind those black walls
(A bass, bass) bass below was a bottomless canyon
(Ebass, bass)
floating with no sound
ghosts far below
(A bass, bass) bass seemed to be suddenly rising
/F#bass exploding all around
(Chorus)
We were falling down this crevice about about a mile down it seem and I looked down And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast and it's our reflection that's this little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep We're falling down right through it We hit, we splashed it dry that's when I lost my hold and she got away but I'm gonna try and get her again some day
