[A] [D] Well the last big buffalo run is [G] done And the hides are [D] stripped and gone
I'm a standing here in dead ghost city [A] On a pile of rattling bones
[D] Three pronged feet run down my street [G] He's yelling [D] out his lungs
There's a wild stampede coming through [A] town And it's led by the [D] wild cyclone
I dodged in back of some bales of hay [G] As the wild herd [D] jostled past
Well I could not spot their leader [A] horse Cause they all went past so fast
[D] A wind-burned girl rode in that [G] herd And I seen her toss [D] her lute
[G] Her horsey fell and the girl did [A] yell I've missed that [D] wild cyclone
[A] [D]
I lifted her up from that dusty street On top of my bales of hay
She pulled her hair and cried and said [A] That cyclone got away
[D] She said I've trailed him six long [G] years Since he was [D] just a colt
[G] I squeezed her [D] hand and said I'll [A] help you smack that [D] wild cyclone
[A] [D]
We bought for her a saddling [G] done With an engine [D] bridled too
Stopped our pack on a swayback [A] bay And trailed for a week or two
[D]
In Dry Gath Valley fixed our [G] camp Where the cold water [D] springs did run
[G] Laid every [D] trap in the bloom-tailed book [A] But we missed that [D] wild cyclone
[A]
[D] One day just when the sun [G] comes up My gauge-brand [D] gaffs and mints
Throws a loose loop on a [A] mare And she told me with a grin
[D] We'll build a pen around this mare [G] And the cyclone's [D] bound to come
[G] Before too many [D] moons roll [A] by We'll have [D] that wild cyclone
[A] [D] On the small rail fence we built [G] around This fair young [D] knickery mare
That same old night as the moon [A] was bright Old wild cyclone was there
[D] He pushed the gate to the rail [G] corral And he rubbed his [D] blade his nose
[G] We laced our [D] gates with leathery straps [A] And trapped that wild [D] cyclone
[A] [D]
My wind-burnt girl did feel so [G] gay She kissed my [D] leathery cheek
Then both rode back to Dinghorn town [A] To the justice of the peace
[D] We bred this fair and pretty foal [G] mare To the stormy [D] wild cyclone
[G] It's now our [D] kids ride past us On [A] the fastest [D] horses grow
