Chords for 'The Ballad of Pecos Bill' by Roy Rogers.

_ Yahoo! _ _ _ _ _
Boom!
_ Whoa! _ _
Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas _
And a western superman to say the [F#] least
He [B] was the roughest, toughest critter
[F#] Never known to be a quitter
Cause he never had [C#] no fear of man [F#] or beast
[B] _
So yippee-aye-aye-aye, [F#] yippee-aye-oh
For [D#] the toughest critter west of the Alamo _ _
Once he wrote the [C#] raging cyclone [F#] out of nowhere _
Then he straddled it and settled down with ease
And [B] while that cyclone bucked [F#] and flitted
Pecos rolled the [G] smoke and lit it
And he tamed that [C#] unruly wind down to [F#] a breeze
[B] So yippee-aye-aye [F#]-aye, _ _ _ _ _ yippee-aye-oh
No _ _ _ _ _ [C#] way, no way, no way, no way, no way, [F#] no way, no way, no way, no way, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Once there was a drought [C#] that spread all [F#] over Texas
So to sunny [C#] California he [F#] did go
And though the gang is kind of corny
He brought rain from California
That's the way we got [C#] the gulp of [F#] Mexico
_ So [B] yippee-aye-aye [F#]-aye, yippee-aye-oh
For the toughest [C#] critter west of the [F#] Alamo
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] Once a band of [B] rustlers stole [E] a herd of cattle, _
[G#] but they didn't [B] know the herd they [E] stole was Bill's.
And [A] when he caught them trumpet villains, [E] Pegas knocked out all their [C#m] fillings.
_ _ [E] That's the reason [B] why there's gold [E] in them bar hills.
So [A] yippee-aye-aye, [E] yippee-aye-oh, for the toughest [B] critter west of the [E] Alamo.
_ Oh, _ _
[Em] Pegas lost his way [B] while traveling on [Em] the desert. _ _
It was ninety miles [B] across the burning [Em] _ sand.
Water.
He knew [Am] he'd never reach the border.
Water.
[Em] If he didn't get some water.
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] So he got a stick [B] and dug a Rio [E] Grande.
[A] Ale-oh-oh [B]-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
_ [F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] While a tribe of painted Indians did a war dance.
Pegas started shooting up their [Am] little gang.
[B]
It gave them red skin such a shake-up that they jumped out from their make-up.
That's the way the painted desert [E] got its name.
So [A] yippee-aye _ [E]-aye-aye-oh! _
We're the toughest [B] ridder west of [E] the Alamo. _
While reclining on [B] a cloud [E] high over Texas,
With his gun he [G#m] made the stars [E] evaporate.
Then [A] Pecos saw the stars declining,
[E] So he left one brightly shining
As the emblem [B] of the lone star [E] Texas State. _
[A] So yippee-aye-aye-aye [E]-aye-oh! _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _
