[G] [E] [Am] [D]
[Am] [G] [A] [Am] Wild as a [G] coastal bronca, [F] swift as a [E] wind blowing free,
with [Am] two eyes [G] like firebrands a-glowin' tonight,
[F] somewhere up there he's waitin' [E] for me,
[Am] and he knows that I'm [G] comin' for him.
[F] I just can't [E] rest till I find [Am] that raven black stallion
[G] who wears no man's [F] frown,
and with a wild restless [E] spirit like mine.
[Am] They call him [G] Caballo de Arco, half horse and half [Am] devil they say,
Caballo de [G] Arco, low-thighed law,
[F] or the [G] Mata [Am] Sierra Madre.

[Am] Two men before [G] tried to take him,
[F] they had their [E] chance one by one,
[Am] but each man is fate when [G] those flashing black hooves
[F] brought death neath the [E] Mexican sun.
[Am] Still I can't [G] leave, I must find him,
[F] you fool of a horse can't you [E] see?
[Am] I may be [G] half man, but the other half's devil,
[F] and you're just exactly [E] like me.
[Am] They call him [G] Caballo de Arco, [Am] half horse and half devil they say,
Caballo de [G] Arco, low-thighed law,
[F] or the [G] Mata Sierra [Am] Madre.

[F] [C] push [E] now be still,
[Am] don't make a [G] sound and stay close to the [F] ground,
cause he's [Am] waiting just [E] over that hill.
[Am] Downwind [G] behind him, move quickly,
[F] do it fast now [E] he's starting to stir,
[Am] grab a handful of mane [G] and up on to his back,
[F] and start breaking him [E] down with my spurs.
[Am] But try as he [G] will, he can't shake me,
[F] that's over the preface [E] we go,
[Am] to spill the life's [G] blood of a horse and a man,
[F] on the rocky [E] Sierra below.
[Am] They call him Caballo [G] de Arco,
half horse and half devil [Am] they say,
Caballo de Arco, low [G]-thighed law,
[F] or the Mata [G] Sierra [Am] Madre.
