_ _ We made camp along [F] Red River, watched [G] the cattle as they bedded [D] down.
Back at the wagons right [F] after supper, _ _ [G] spread our bedrolls on [D] the ground.
Me [G] and Willie, _ we took [D] the night guard, and [G] the sage never smelled [D] so sweet.
The prairie [G] moon is [D] blazing silver, no [Bb] chance tonight [C] for a [D] _ stampede.
_ _ _ Way over yonder, up in [F] the distance, towards [G] the mountains there in [D] the west.
Did I see lightning?
Did I hear [F] thunder?
_ My mind [G] is weary.
_ I could use [D] some rest.
Then all [G] at once, the wind shifts [D] directions.
The clouds [G] roll in behind the [D] tumbleweeds.
These [G] long-horned cattle are getting [D] restless.
God help [Bb] 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 supper.
It's rank [G] and strong, it's [Dm] Satan's breath.
The cattle [G] rise up and go [Dm] to running.
I swerve [G] my pony on to take [Dm] the lead.
And across [G] the herd, I can hear [D] Willie yelling,
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _
[Dm] Hey, stampede! _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ Just like the rise, as [C] the rain falls, they mix [G] together, turn the air [D] to mud.
_ I feel the long horns brush [F] against me,
and I can feel [G] the demons racing through [D] my blood.
Then all [G] at once, my pony [D] stumbles.
We hit [G] the ground, I rise up to [D] my knees.
In a [G] flash of light, I can see the cattle [D] coming.
Lord, I [Bb] know I'm gonna die [C] in this [D] stampede.
_ _ _ _ _ Then I awoke, _ and I look [F] around me.
I'm in [G] my bedroll, and I'm laying on the [Dm] ground.
_ Over [D] there's a wagon, and there's [F] the campfire.
I was [G] only dreaming, but what's [D] that sound? _ _
_ [Dm] _ Then I feel [G] the earth tremble [Dm] underneath me,
as [G] the midnight sky begins [D] to bleed.
_ And from the blackness, [G] I can hear [D] Willie yelling,
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] Hey, [Dm] stampede!
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
