G  Am  D  G C D
Stewball was a Ggood horse,  Emhe wore a high Amhead,
and the mane on his DfoDsus4retop, Dwas as fine as silk Gthread.C  D  
I rode him in GEngland,  EmI rode him in AmSpain,
and I never did DloDsus4se, boDys, I always did Ggain.C  D  
So come all you Ggamblers,  Emwherever you Amare,
and don`t bet your DmoDsus4ney on Dthat little grey Gmare.C  D  
Most likely she`ll Gstumble,  Emmost likely she`ll Amfall,
but never you`ll DloDsus4se, boDys, on my noble StewGball.C  D  
As they were a-Griding,  Em`bout halfway Amround,
that grey mare she DstDsus4umbledD, and fell on the Gground.C  D  
And way out Gyonder,  Emahead of them Amall,
came a-prancing and a-DdaDsus4ncing, Dmy noble StewGball.C  D  
Stewball was a Grace horse,  Emand by the day he was Ammine,
he never drank DwaDsus4ter, hDe always drank Gwine.C  G
