Chords for The Byrds - Chestnut Mare (Audio)

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ Always alone, _ [G] _ [Bm] never [A] with a her.

[D] You have to [A] take my word.
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] I'm going [E] to catch [A] that horse if [D] I [F#] can.
[G#] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ [D] And when [Em] I do, [A] I'll give her [D] my brand.
[F#m] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ Well, I [F#m] was up on Stony Ridge after this [G] chestnut mare.
_ [D] _
[E] Been chasing her for weeks.
[A] _ _ [D] [C#] I'd catch a [F#m] glimpse of her every once in a while.
[A] _ [G] Taking her meal, [Bm] bathing.
_ [A] _ [D] Fine lady.
_ _ [C#] _
[F#m] This one day I happened to be real close to her and [G] I saw her standing [D] over there.
_ [E] _ So I [A] snuck up on [D] her nice and easy. _
_ _ Got my [A] rope out [G] and _
[D] I [E] flung it in the air.
[A] _ _ [G] _
[D] I'm going [E] to catch [A] that horse if [D] I [F#m] can.

[F#m] _ [G#] _ [D] _ _ _ And I [C#m] got her and [F#m] I'm pulling on her.
And she's pulling back like [G] this mule going up [Bm] a ladder.
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ [D] _ And I take a choice and I jump right up on her.
_ _ [G] Damned if [Bm] I don't land right on [E] top of her.
[A] And she [D] takes off, [F#] _ running up onto [A] the ridge.
[G] Higher than I've ever been [F#] before.
[Bm] _ [A] _ _ She's running [D] along just [F#m] fine.
_ _ Till she stops and something [G] spooked her.
[D] The sidewinder [E] all coiled and ready to [A] strike.
_ [D] _ _
_ _ She doesn't know what to do for a [G] second.
But then [D] she jumps off [E] the edge and [A] he's holding on.
[D] _ _
Above the hills, [C] _ higher [B] [F#] than [A] eagles were [E] _ gliding.
[G] _ _
Suspended in [D] the sky. _
_ _ _ Over the moon, [C] _ straight [B] for the [G] sun [A] we were [E]
riding.
[F#] _ [G] _ Eyes [F#] were _ [A] billowed with light.
_ _ _ [D] _
Behind us black [G] [C] walls, below [G] us a [A] bottomless [E] canyon.
_ [G] _ _
Moving with [D] no _ _ sound.
_ _ Those far below [C] _ seemed to [G] be [A] suddenly [E] rising.
_ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] Exploding all [A] _ around. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [F#] I'm [Em] going to catch [A] that horse [D] if I [C#] [Bm] can.

[Bm] _ [A] _ _ _ [D] _
We [C#] were falling [D] _ down this [A] crevice. _
[G] About a mile [D] down I'd say.
[E] _ _ [D] I look down and I see this [F#m] red thing below us.
Coming up [D] real fast and that's [G] our reflection.
This [Bm] little pool [E] of water about six [A] feet wide [D] and one foot deep.
_ _ _ [A] We're falling down [G] right through it.
[D] _ [A] We hit and we splashed to dry. _
