Dallas, here's one I wrote up in Colorado.
I just left Crested Butte, Colorado,
[G#] and I was up in the mountains and I [B] was on horseback.
I've been stuck in Crested Butte for about two weeks
because I'd lost everything I had except for my horse and a crab game.
It took about two weeks to win everything back.
When I finally cleared town, I let the horse go for a while to eat
and sat there on the side of the mountain and wrote this song.
It's called The Buckskin Stallion Blues.
I heard her [E] sing in tongues of silver
[B]
I heard her [E] cry in a summer [B] storm
I loved her but [E] she did not [B] know it
I don't think [F#] about her [B] anymore
[E] Now she's gone and I can't [B] believe it
So I don't think [F#] about her anymore
[B]
If three and [E] four were seven [B] only
Where would that [E] leave one and [B] two?
If love can be [E] and still be [B] lonely
[F#] Where [B] does that [F#] leave me [B] and you?
[E] Time there was and time there [B] will be
Where does that [F#] leave me [B] and you?
Well if [E] I had a buckskin [B] stallion
I'd tame him [E] down right [B] away
And if I [E] had a flying [B] schooner
I'd sail into [F#] the light [B] of day
[E] If I had your love [B] forever
Sail [F#] into the [B] light of day
[E] Pretty songs of pretty [B]
places
Places [E] that I've never [B] seen
[E] Pretty songs and pretty [B] faces
[F#] Tell me what their laughter [B] means
[E] Some look like they'll cry [Bm] forever
Tell me what [F#] their laughter [B] means
[F#] [B]
[E] If I had a buckskin [B]
stallion
I'd tame him [E] down right [B] away
[E] If I had a golden [B] galleon
I'd sail into [F#] the light [B] of day
[E] If I had your love [B] forever
Sail into [F#] the [B] light of day
[F#] [B] [N]
