Say a prayer for the cowgirl, her horse ran away
is stray
[Eb] break up, in the panic [Ab] of love
And there's nothing to follow, nowhere to [Db] go
like the summer, gone like the snow
song
Did she dream, was it he, who went galloping past
mud, with a well-hammered shoe
is stray
[Eb] break up, in the panic [Ab] of love
And there's nothing to follow, nowhere to [Db] go
like the summer, gone like the snow
song
Did she dream, was it he, who went galloping past
mud, with a well-hammered shoe

_ _ _ _ _ Say a prayer for the cowgirl, her horse ran away
[Db] She'll walk till she finds him, her darling is stray
[Ab] By the rivers in flood, and the roads are [Bb] washed
And the bridges [Eb] break up, in the panic [Ab] of love _ _
And there's nothing to follow, nowhere to [Db] go
He's gone like the summer, gone like the snow
[Ab] And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song
[Eb] As the day caves in, and the night [Ab] is all wrong
_ _ Did she dream, was it he, who went galloping past
[Db] And bent down the fir, broke open the grass
[Ab] And printed the mud, with a well-hammered shoe
[Eb] That she nailed to his feet, in the dreams of [Ab] her youth
_ _ And although he goes grazing, a minute away
[Db] She tracks him all night, she tracks him all day
[Ab] And she's blind to his presence, except to [Bb] compare
Her injury [Eb] here, with his [Ab] punishment there _
[Db] Then at home, on a branch, on a high stream
[Ab] A songbird sings out, so sadly
[Db] And the sun is warm, and the soft winds [Ab] ride
On a willow [Eb] tree, by the [Ab]
riverside
_ _ All the world is sweet, and the world is [Db] wide
He's there with the light, and the darkness divide
[Ab] And the steam's coming off him, he's huge and he's shy
[Bb] As he steps [Eb] on the moon, when he [Ab] passes the sky
_ _ _ And he comes to an end, but he's not really tame
He [Db] longs to be lost, she longs for the same
[Ab] And he'll bold and he'll punch, through the first open [Eb] pass
To roll and defeat, in the sweet [Ab] mountain grass _ _
Or he'll make a break, for the hike there too
Where [Db] there's nothing above, and nothing below
[Ab] It's time for the burden, the weep and the spur
[Bb] Will she ride with [Eb] him, or will he [Ab] ride with her?
_ _ [Db] So she binds herself, to the galloping steed
[Ab] And he binds himself, to the woman in need
[Db] And there is no space, just left and [Ab] right
And there is no [Eb] time, but there is [Ab] day and night
_ _ And she leans on his neck, and whispers [Db] low
Whether to go west, I will [Ab] go
And they turn as one, and they head for the plain
No need for the wind, oh no need for the rain _ _
Now the clasp of this union, who fastens it tight
Who [Db] snaps it to cinder, the very next night
Some say it's him, some say it's her
Some [Bb] say [Ebm] love's like smoke, beyond [Ab] all repair _
_ So my darling, my darling, just let it go by
[Db] That old silhouette on the great western sky
And I'll pick out a tune, and I'll move right along
[Bb] And they're gone like [Ebm] smoke, and they're gone like [Ab] the song
_ _ Say a prayer for the cowgirl _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] She'll walk till she finds him, her darling is stray
[Ab] By the rivers in flood, and the roads are [Bb] washed
And the bridges [Eb] break up, in the panic [Ab] of love _ _
And there's nothing to follow, nowhere to [Db] go
