[D]
Well, he walks out in the arena, all dressed up to the brim
Said he just [Ab] came [A] down from a place called Highland Rim
Well, [D] he said he came to ride the horse, [G] the one they [D] call the brute
But he didn't look like a cowboy in his continental suit
We snickered at the way he [A] dressed, but he never [D] said a word
He walks on by the rest of us [A] as if he hadn't heard
[Bm] A thousand [Gbm] bucks went to the man that [G] could ride [D] this wild caillouse
I mean, a horse [A] was never born, then, [Am] the one they call [D] the brute
The horse that he was looking for was in chute number eight
He walked [Bm] up very slowly, put [A] his hand upon the gate
[D] We knew he was [Gbm] the third rat when [D] he pulled his sack of dukes
From the inside pocket of [A] his [D] continental suit
[Eb]
Well, he rolled himself a quillie and [Bb] he lit it [Eb] standing there
Blew himself a smoke [Bb] ring and he watched it disappear
[Gm] We thought he must be crazy when [Ab] he [Eb] opened up the gate
Standing just inside was fifteen hundred pounds of a hate
The buckskin tried to run him down, but the stranger was too quick
He stepped aside, [Ab] threw his arms [Bb] around the horse's neck
And [Eb] he pulled himself [Gm] upon the back of [Ab] the horse they called [Eb] the brute
Set like he was born there in his continental suit
The [Cm] [Eb]
brute's hand [Bb] was in the air, his front end on [Eb] the ground
Kicking and [Cm] a squealing, trying [Bb] to shake the stranger down
But [Eb] the stranger [Gm] didn't give an inch, [Ab] he came to ride [Eb] the brute
And he came to ride the buckskin in [Bb] a continental [Eb] suit
[E] Well, I turned around to look at Jim and he was watching me
He said, I don't [Dbm] believe the crazy [B] things I think I see
[Eb] But [E] I think I see [Abm] the outlaw, [A] the one they call brute
[E] Ridden by a cowboy in a continental suit
The brute came to a standstill, [Gbm] ashamed that he'd [Dbm] been rode
By a city cowboy in [B] some continental clothes
[E] The stranger took [Abm] his money, [Am] and we don't know where he [E] went
We don't know where he came from, and we haven't seen him since
The moral of the story, never judged by what they wear
Underneath some [B] ragged clothes could be a millionaire
[E] Everybody [Abm] listen, [A] don't be fooled by [E] this galoot
This sure enough, grown faster in a continental suit
[Cm]
