Intro
D#
[Verse 1]
D#
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
G#
She'll walk til she finds him her darling her stray
D#
But the rivers in flood and the roads are awash
A# D#
And the bridges break up in the panic of loss
[Verse 2]
D#
And there's nothing to follow nowhere to go
G#
He's gone like the summer gone like the snow
D#
And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song
A# D#
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong
[Verse 3]
D#
Did she dream was it he who went galloping past
G#
And bent down the fern broke open the grass
D#
And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe
A# D#
That she nailed to his feet in the dreams of her youth
[Verse 4]
D#
And although he goes grazing a minute away
G#
She tracks him all night she tracks him all day
D#
And she's blind to his presence except to compare
A# D#
Her injury here with his punishment there
[Bridge 1]
G#
Then at home on a branch on a high stream
D#
C# Songbird sings out so suddenly
G#
And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
D# A# D#
On a willow tree by the riverside
[Verse 5]
D#
All the world is sweet and the world is wide
G#
He's there where the light and the darkness divide
D#
And the steam's coming off him he's huge and he's shy
A# D#
And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky
[Verse 6]
D#
And he comes to her hand but he's not really tame
G#
He longs to be lost she longs for the same
D#
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge through the first open pass
A# D#
To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass
[Verse 7]
D#
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau
G#
Where there's nothing above and nothing below
D#
It's time for their burden the whip and the spur
A# D#
Will she ride with him or will he ride with her
[Bridge 2]
G#
So she binds herself to her galloping steed
D#
And he binds himself to the woman in need
G#
And there is no space just left and right
D# A# D#
And there is no time but there is day and night
[Verse 8]
D#
And she leans on his neck and whispers low
G#
Whither thou goest I will go
D#
And they turn as one and they head for the plain
A# D#
No need for the whip or no need for the rein
[Verse 9]
D#
Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight
G#
Who snaps it asunder the very next night
D#
Some say it's him some say it's her
A# D#
Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair
[Verse 10]
D#
So my darling my darling just let it go by
G#
That old silhouette on the great western sky
D#
And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along
A# D#
And they're gone like smoke and the're gone like this song
[Outro]
D#
Say a prayer for the cowgirl
