[Dm]
[D]
We made camp along [C] Red River, [G] watched the cattle as they [D] bedded down.
Back at the [G] wagons, right [F] after supper, [G] spread our bedrolls [D] on the ground.
Me [G] and Willie, we [D] took the night guard, [Am] and [G] the sage never smelled [D] so sweet.
If [G] every moon was [D] blazing silver, no [Bbm] chance tonight [D] for a stampede.
Way over yonder, off [F] in the [C] distance, towards [G] the mountains there [D] in the west.
Did I see lightning?
Did I [F] hear thunder?
[C] But man [G] it's weird, I could [D] use some rest.
Then all [G] at once, the wind [D] shifts directions, [Dm] the [G] clouds roll in behind the [D] tumbleweeds.
[G] These long-horned cattle are getting [D] restless, God [Bb] help us all, [C] if they [D] stampede.
Smell the rain, hear [F] the thunder, the [G] midnight sky turns [D] black as death.
Lightning crashes, smell [F] the sulfur, it's [G] rank and strong, [Dm] Satan's breath.
[G] Cattle rise up and go [Dm] to ramp, I spread [G] my pony horn to take [Dm] the lead.
[G] Across the herd, I can hear [D] Willie yelling, [Bb] hey [C] [Dm]
[D] stampede.
[Dm] [F]
[G] [D]
[F]
[G] [D]
Dust clouds rise as [F] the rain falls, they [G] mix together, turn the air [D] to mud.
I feel the long horns brush [F] against me, [C] and I can feel [G] the demons racing through [D] my blood.
Then all [G] at once, my [D] pony stumbles, we hit [G] the ground, I rise up [D] to my knees.
In a [G] flash of light, I can see the [D] cattle coming, Lord I [Bb] know I'm gonna [C] die from this [D] stampede.
Then I awake, and I look [F] around, I'm in [G] my bedroll, and I'm laying on the [Dm] ground.
Over [D] there's the wagon, and [F] there's the campfire, I was [G] only dreaming, but [D] what's that sound?
[Dm]
Then I [G] feel the earth tremble [Dm] underneath me, [G] as the midnight sky begins [D] to bleed.
[G] From the blackness, I can hear [D] Willie yelling, [Bb] [C] hey [Dm] stampede.
