Capo 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
AmWild as a coastal barGranca, Fswift as the wind blowing Efree
With Amtwo eyes like fire brands that Gglow in the night
Somewhere Fup there he's waiting for Eme
And Amhe knows that I'm coming Gfor him, and I Fjust can't rest 'til I fEind
That Amraven black stallion that Gwears no man's brand
with a Fwild restless spirit like Emine
[Chorus]
AmThey call him Caballo DiGablo, half horse half devil they Amsay
AmCaballo Diablo, the Goutlaw up a Ftop the SiGerra MadAmre
[Verse 2]
AmTwo men before tried to Gtake him, Fthey had their chance one by Eone
But Ameach met his fate when those fGlashing black hooves
brought Fdeath 'neath the Mexican sEun
AmStill I can't leave, I must Gfind him, you Ffool of a horse can't you sEee?
I Ammay be half man, but the oGther half's devil, Fand you're just exactly like Eme
[Chorus]
AmThey call him Caballo DiGablo, half horse half devil they Amsay
AmCaballo Diablo, the Goutlaw up a Ftop the SiGerra MadAmre
[Verse 3]
AmEven the breeze has stopped Gmovin' all Fhush now, be sEtill
AmDon't make a sound, stay cGlose to the ground
Cuz he's wFaitin' just over that Ehill
AmDown wind behind him move qGuickly, do it Ffast now, he's startin' to Estir
Grab a Amhandful of mane, then Gup on to his back,
And Fstart rakin' him down with my sEpurs
But Amtry as he will he can't sGhake me as oFver the precipice we Ego
To Amshed the life blood of a Ghorse and a man on the Frocky sierra beElow
[Chorus]
AmThey call him Caballo DiGablo, half horse half devil they Amsay
AmCaballo Diablo, the Goutlaw up a Ftop the SiGerra MadAmre
