Capo 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
Am                   G      F                         E
Wild as a coastal barranca, swift as the wind blowing free
     Am                             G
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
          F                         E
Somewhere up there he's waiting for me
    Am                       G             F                        E
And he knows that I'm coming for him, and I just can't rest 'til I find
     Am                        G
That raven black stallion that wears no man's brand
       F                         E
with a wild restless spirit like mine
[Chorus]
Am                      G                                Am
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           F         G       Am
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
[Verse 2]
Am                      G         F                            E
Two men before tried to take him, they had their chance one by one
    Am                            G
But each met his fate when those flashing black hooves
        F                         E
brought death 'neath the Mexican sun
Am                          G             F                          E
Still I can't leave, I must find him, you fool of a horse can't you see?
  Am                        G                  F                            E
I may be half man, but the other half's devil, and you're just exactly like me
[Chorus]
Am                      G                                Am
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           F         G       Am
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
[Verse 3]
Am                          G          F             E
Even the breeze has stopped movin' all hush now, be still
Am                        G
Don't make a sound, stay close to the ground
          F                     E
Cuz he's waitin' just over that hill
Am                         G             F                          E
Down wind behind him move quickly, do it fast now, he's startin' to stir
       Am                    G
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back,
    F                              E
And start rakin' him down with my spurs
    Am                       G           F                    E
But try as he will he can't shake me as over the precipice we go
   Am                       G                      F              E
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below
[Chorus]
Am                      G                                Am
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
Am                  G           F         G       Am
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
