D C
We made camp along Red River
G D
Watched the cattle as they bedded down
C
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
C
Way over yonder, off in the distance
G D
Towards the mountains there in the west
C
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
C
Smell the rain, hear the thunder
G D
The midnight sky, turns black as death
C
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
C
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
C
Then I awake, and I look around me
G D
I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground
C
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
