Вступление
[Intro]AmFAmF[Verse 1]AmF
I grew up with stories 'bout the ghost of boot hill
CG
Teddy Blue Abbott and Scandalous Bill
AmF
Them boys are all gone now, them holes have been filled
CG
By bodies of cowboys who left no wills
GAmF
And some are sadder than hell
[Verse 2]AmF
You only hear them stories when you're out on the range
CG
With real old boys on the real old plains
AmF
Not rodeo riders or farmers of land
CG
Not a singer in a barroom, or an Ag. Businessman
GAmF
Just sad old campfire tales
[Verse 3]AmF
And I heard this story back when I was a kid
CG
About a crafty wild stallion and he stole mares and hid
AmF
They couldn't kill him 'cause he stayed out of range
CG
He was a saber toothed rocket with a human brain
GAmF
The king of the plains
[Verse 4]AmF
And Old Tex watched him for many a year
CG
And he followed his hoof steps and learned what he feared
AmF
He staked out four geldings, the fastest he had
CG
In twenty mile stretches, 'cross a hundred mile of land
GAmF
Gumbo and Hardpan
[Verse 5]AmF
And early next mornin' he spotted his prey
CG
And he built to the stallion on his horse named Bay
AmF
And they jumped two fences as they tore 'cross the plains
CG
Hazin' that stallion t'wards the next horse exchange
GAmF
And gave Bay the reins
[Verse 6]AmF
And he got off Bay all lathered and sore
CG
And he saddled up Red and went a'runnin' some more
AmF
Chasing that stallion 'cross badlands and sage
CG
With the stallion and Tex all caught in a rage
GAmF
Of this horse that won't cage
[Verse 7]AmF
The next horse was Buck, when it came down to swap
CG
The hot afternoon sun had old Red 'bout to drop
AmF
Buck was sure-footed and quick on his feet
CG
And they went chasin' the stallion in the Montana heat
GAmF
The stud ain't missin' a beat
[Verse 8]AmF
The last horse was Blackie with the sun gettin' low
CG
And that old western horizon beginnin' to glow
AmF
The stallion he stumbled and fell with his pride
CG
But got up a'runnin' and damn how he tried
GAmF
And then he fell and died
[Verse 9]AmF
I've talked about horses but I ain't mentioned Tex
CG
With blood on his chaps, from them blisters that bled
AmF
A hundred miles runnin' had taken its toll
CG
That old stud was his hero, his heart and his soul
GAmF
'Til now he didn't know
[Verse 10]AmF
Tex looked on the ground where he died
CG
And a defiant look was still a glare in his eye
AmF
The stallion had stumbled and died in the sage
CG
It all represented the end of an age
GAmF
The end of an age
[Verse 11]AmF
I grew up with stories 'bout the ghost of boot hill
CG
Teddy Blue Abbot and Scandalous Bill
AmF
Them boys are all gone now, them holes have been filled
CG
By bodies of cowboys who left no wills
GAmF
And some are sadder than hell
[Outro]AmF
And some are sadder than hell
Am
And some are sadder than hell
