DWe made camp along Red CRiver
Watched the Gcattle as they bedded Ddown
Back at the wagons, right after Csupper
GSpread our bedrolls on the Dground
And me and GWillie, we took the Dnight guard
And the Gsage never smelled so Dsweet
The prairie Gmoon, was blazin' Dsilver
No chance toCnight for a stamDpede
Way over yonder, off in the Cdistance
Towards the Gmountains there in the Dwest
Did I see lightnin', did I hear Cthunder
The mind is Gweary, I could use some Drest
Then all at Gonce, the wind shifts dirDections
The clouds roll Gin behind the tumble Dweeds
Those longhorn Gcattle, are gettin' Drestless
God help us Call, if they stamDpede
Smell the rain, hear the Cthunder
The midnight Gsky, turns black as Ddeath
The lightnin' crashes, smell the Csulphur
It's rank and Gstrong, as Satan's Dbreath
The cattle Grise up, and go to Drunnin'
I spur my Gpony on and take the Dlead
And across the Gherd, I can hear Willie Dyellin'
CHey StamDpede!
[Instrumental]
D C G D
Dust clouds Drise, as the Crain falls
They mix toGgether, turn the air to Dmud
I feel the longhorns brush Cagainst me
I can feel the Gdemons racing through my Dblood
Then all at Gonce, my pony Dstumbles
We hit the Gground, I rise up to my Dknees
In a flash of Glight, I can see the cattle Dcomin'
Lord I know I'm gonna Cdie in this stamDpede
Then I awake, and I look aCround me
I'm in my Gbedroll and I'm layin' on the Dground
Over there's the wagon, and there's the Ccampfire
I was only Gdreamin', what's that Dsound?
And I feel the Gearth tremble underDneath me
As the midnight Gsky begins to Dbleed
And from the Gblackness I can hear Willie Dyellin'
CHey StamDpede

Chords in this song · guitar

D C

We made camp along Red River

G D

Watched the cattle as they bedded down

Back at the wagons, right after supper

G D

Spread our bedrolls on the ground

G D

And me and Willie, we took the night guard

G D

And the sage never smelled so sweet

G D

The prairie moon, was blazin' silver

C D

No chance tonight for a stampede

Way over yonder, off in the distance

G D

Towards the mountains there in the west

Did I see lightnin', did I hear thunder

G D

The mind is weary, I could use some rest

G D

Then all at once, the wind shifts directions

G D

The clouds roll in behind the tumble weeds

G D

Those longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless

C D

God help us all, if they stampede

Smell the rain, hear the thunder

G D

The midnight sky, turns black as death

The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur

G D

It's rank and strong, as Satan's breath

G D

The cattle rise up, and go to runnin'

G D

I spur my pony on and take the lead

G D

And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin'

C D

Hey Stampede!

[Instrumental]

D C G D

D C

Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls

G D

They mix together, turn the air to mud

I feel the longhorns brush against me

G D

I can feel the demons racing through my blood

G D

Then all at once, my pony stumbles

G D

We hit the ground, I rise up to my knees

G D

In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin'

C D

Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede

Then I awake, and I look around me

G D

I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground

Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire

G D

I was only dreamin', what's that sound?

G D

And I feel the earth tremble underneath me

G D

As the midnight sky begins to bleed

G D

And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin'

C D

Hey Stampede
