A E7 A
You look at the picture with a wondering eye
E7 A
And then at the arrow that's hanging close by
D A
Say tell a story as there's one I know
E7 A
Of a horse I once owned down in New Mexico
E7 A
He was swift as an antelope and black as a crow
E7 A
With a star on his forehead as white as the snow
D A
His arched neck was hidden by a long flowing mane
E7 A
And they called him Patanio the pride of the plains
E7 A
The country was new then the settlers were scarce
E7 A
The Indians on the warpath were savage and fierce
D A
Scouts were sent out everyday from the post
E7 A
But they never came back so we knew they were lost
E7 A
One day the Captain said someone must go
E7 A
For help to the border of New Mexico
D A
F# dozen brave fellows straight way answered here
E7 A
But the Captain he spied me and said son come here
E7 A
Patanio beside me his nose in my hand
E7 A
Said the captain your horse is the best in the land
D A
You're good for this ride you're the lightest man here
E7 A
On the back of that mustang you've nothing to fear
E7 A
I'm proud of my horse sir I answered you know
E7 A
Patanio and I are both willing to go
D A
They all shook my hand as I mounted the black
E7 A
Patanio sped forward and I gave him his slack
E7 A
For eighty long miles over the plains we must go
E7 A
For help to the border of New Mexico
D A
The black struck a trot and he kept it all night
E7 A
Till just as the east was beginning to light
E7 A
When back from behind me there came a fierce yell
E7 A
We knew that the redskins were hot on our trail
D A
I rose up and jingled the bells on his rein
E7 A
And I stoked his neck softly and I called him by name
E7 A
He answered my touch with a toss of his head
E7 A
And his black body lengthened as onward he sped
D A
The arrows fell round me like showers of rain
E7 A
When in my left leg oh I felt a sharp pain
E7 A
The red blood was flowing from Patanio's side
E7 A
But he never once shortened his powerful stride
D A
Patanio poor fellow I knew he was hurt
E7 A
But still he dashed onward and on to the fort
E7 A
By good care Patanio and I were soon well
E7 A
Of his death long years after it hurts me to tell
D A
They write songs about him the cowboys still sing
E7 A
The legend lives on of his long flowing mane
E7 A
So look at the arrow that hangs on the wall
E7 A
It was shot through my leg boot stirrup and all
D A
On many fine horses I've since drawn the reins
E7 A
But none like Patanio the pride of the plains
