FRESH HORSES

NORMA O’HARA MURPHY

CAPO: 2nd FRET

INTRO:

A A A Asus2 A

VERSE

N.C.

’Twas the bold Ben Hall

Rode into town

In the cold grey dawn

D A A Asus2 A

With his shutters down

VERSE:

N.C.

On a big bay horse

That could scarcely crawl

Through the streets of Forbes

D A A Asus2 A

Rode the bold Ben Hall

VERSE:

N.C.

He was a wanted man

Was an outlaw bold

But the nights were dark, yeah

D A A Asus2 A

And the nights were cold

VERSE:

N.C.

And a woman’s arms

Are a softer bed

So he came to find

D A A Asus2 A

His love instead

CHORUS:

N.C.

Bring me fresh horses

And some food and wine

E D

And I’ll be riding on (I’ll be riding on)

A A Asus2 A

All in good time

N.C.

Just a breath of you

Will soothe my soul

Bring me some fresh horses

D A A Asus2 A

Cried the bold Ben Hall, heh

INSTRUMENTAL:

A D D A A E D A Asus2 A

VERSE:

N.C.

But they shot him down

And she heard the call

She knew she lost

D A A Asus2 A

Her bold Ben Hall

VERSE:

N.C

And late at night

When the rangers sleep

She’ll take fresh horses

D A A Asus2 A

And with promise key

CHORUS:

N.C.

Bring me fresh horses

And some food and wine

E D

And I’ll be riding on (I’ll be riding on)

A A Asus2 A

All in good time

N.C.

Just a breath of you

Will soothe my soul

Bring me fresh horses

Cried the bold Ben Hall, heh
