James Keelaghan - Number 37
INTRO:   G    D    G    C    G    D  C  
She wore Gnumber 37, her horse was chestnut brown
I Csaw her at a rodeo in a Dhigh plains western town
UnderGneath the turquoise sky a thunderstorm was rolling in
The Cinfield getting sticky, the Dcrowd was wearing thin
Now, I loEmve the barrel racingG, cannot say I don't
To Csee some woman ride flat out, as she Drounds a turn for home
And Emriding hell-for-Gleather, the bit between her teeth
It's Cpoetry in Dmotion.
She wore the Gnumber 37, she was the seventh one to ride
She Cshowed no hint of nerves and she Dsat her horse with pride
Horse and Grider leapt together, I wished that I could hear
The Cwords she spoke to spur him on as she Dleaned down to his ear
They Emrounded the first Gbarrel, from the bleachers I could see
She Cdidn't use a riding crop, for the Dhorse ran like a breeze
'Round Embarrel two hiGgh-stepping, she closed the figure eight
Then Cup for barrel three, yeah she was Dliquid, yeah
INTERLUDE:
Heyyyy Dhey Ghey hey hey Chey I Ghey I Dhey I Cheyyy
Though she Gdidn't use a riding crop, she barely used her spurs
CShe was hands and knees, she was geDntle, loving words.
I'd Glike to say she won that day, that wouldn't be the fact.
She Ccrossed the line in '69 in the Dmiddle of the pack
You'd Emnever know she'd Glost, she grinned from ear to ear
She Cstroked the charger's neck and once more Dwhispered in his ear
She was Emhappy that they'd Gdone that well, nobody got hurt
She got Call the speed she wanted using Dgentle loving GwordsD  G  
INTERLUDE:
Heyyyy hey hey Chey GI hey I Dhey I CheyyyG  
Heyyyy I Dhey GI hey I Cheyyy
Heyy I Ghey I Dhey I Cheyyy
So hats off to Gsweet 37, wherever you may be
The Cpleasure's not from winning, it's in Driding wild and free
And Gone thing that I learned that day, you can whip and you can curse
But you'll Cget as good a ride if you use geDntle loving woGrds.
OUTRO:
She wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown
I Csaw her at a rodeo in a Dhigh plains western Gtown
     (One - Two - Three)
Heyyyy Dhey Ghey hey hey Chey I Ghey I Dhey I CheyyyG  
Heyyyy I Dhey GI hey I Cheyyy
Heyy I Ghey I Dhey I CheyyyG

G D G C G D C

INTRO:

She wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown

C D

I saw her at a rodeo in a high plains western town

Underneath the turquoise sky a thunderstorm was rolling in

C D

The infield getting sticky, the crowd was wearing thin

Em G

Now, I love the barrel racing, cannot say I don't

C D

To see some woman ride flat out, as she rounds a turn for home

Em G

And riding hell-for-leather, the bit between her teeth

C D

It's poetry in motion.

She wore the number 37, she was the seventh one to ride

C D

She showed no hint of nerves and she sat her horse with pride

Horse and rider leapt together, I wished that I could hear

C D

The words she spoke to spur him on as she leaned down to his ear

Em G

They rounded the first barrel, from the bleachers I could see

C D

She didn't use a riding crop, for the horse ran like a breeze

Em G

'Round barrel two high-stepping, she closed the figure eight

C D

Then up for barrel three, yeah she was liquid, yeah

INTERLUDE:

D G C G D C

Heyyyy hey hey hey hey hey I hey I hey I heyyy

Though she didn't use a riding crop, she barely used her spurs

C D

She was hands and knees, she was gentle, loving words.

I'd like to say she won that day, that wouldn't be the fact.

C D

She crossed the line in '69 in the middle of the pack

Em G

You'd never know she'd lost, she grinned from ear to ear

C D

She stroked the charger's neck and once more whispered in his ear

Em G

She was happy that they'd done that well, nobody got hurt

C D G D G

She got all the speed she wanted using gentle loving words

But you'll get as good a ride if you use gentle loving words.
