Jennifer Warnes -- Ballad of the Runaway Horse Chords

Say a prayer for the [G] cowgirl
Her horse ran away
And she'll walk till she finds him
Darling her stray, but the rivers in flood and the roads are washed and the [D] bridges break up
in the panic of loss _ _ _
And there's nothing to follow
Nowhere to go
[C] He's gone like the summer
Gone like the [G] snow and the [D] crickets are breaking [G] her heart
With their song as the day caves in
And the night is all wrong _ _
Did she dream was it he who went galloping past?
[C] Bent down the fir broke open [G] grass
And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoes
[Bm] That she nailed to his speed
[C] in the dreams [G] of her youth _ _ _
And
Although he goes grazing a minute away
[Em] [C] She tracks him all night.
She tracks him all day
[G] Blind to his presence except to [E] compare [D] her [A] injury
[D] With [C]
his [G] punishment there
then _ at home
on a branch on the highest tree [C] a
song bird sings out so suddenly
[G] How the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
[D] _ Willow tree [C] by the river [G] side
Are _ the world is sweet and the world is wide
[C] And he's there where the light and the darkness
Divide and the [G] seams coming off them.
He's huge
[C] Shy [D] and he steps on the moon
When he paws [G] at the sky _ _ _ and he comes to her hand
But he's not really [Em] team
[C] He longs to be lost
She longs for the [Em] same
[G] Bolt and he'll plunge through the first open [Em] pass
[D] to roll
and to feed
[G] in the sweet mountain grass _ _
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau
[C] Where there's nothing above
on nothing
[Em] Below [G] it's time for their burden the whip and the spur
[D] Will she ride?
_ [G] I will he ride with her
So _ _ she binds herself to her galloping steed
[C] And he binds himself to the woman
[D] And there is no [G] space
Just left and right [D] and there is [E] no time
But there's [G] day and night _ _ _ and she leans on his neck and whispers low
_ [C] Whither thou goest I
Will go [G] and they turn as one and they head for the [D] plane
No need for the whip.
[C] Oh, no need [G] for the rain
Now _ _ the class for this union
Who fastens it tight?
[C] Who snaps it asunder the very next night?
[G] Some say it's him some say it's her _
[A] [D] some say _ _ _
Smoke beyond all [G] repair. _ _ _
So my darling my darling _ That
[C] _ Silhouette on the great [Am] western sky [G] and I'll pick out a tune
And they'll move right along and they're [D] gone
Smoke [C] and they're gone [G] like this song. _ _ _
Oh _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[A] _ [G] _ _ _ Oh
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _
