Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E

Extract from the 1953 film Calamity Jane. This song is actually in F so to keep it simple (and in key) I play with my capo on 5. Tabbed from a youtube video so any corrections etc welcome! Verse 1

^COh the Deadwood stage is rolling on over the plains With the curtains flapping and the driver slapping the ^Greins Beautiful sky a ^Cwonderful day ^GWhip crack away whip crack away whip crack a^Cway

Verse 2

^COh the Deadwood stage is heading on over the hills Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine ^Gquills Dangerous land no ^Ctime to delay So ^Gwhip crack away whip crack away whip crack a^Cway

Bridge

We're heading ^Fstraight for town ^Cloaded down ^Gwith a fancy ^Ccargo ^FCare of Wells and ^CFargo Illi^Gnois - ^Gboy

Verse 3

Oh the ^CDeadwood stage is coming on over the crest Like a homing pigeon that's hankering after its ^Gnest Twenty three miles we've ^Ccovered today So ^Gwhip crack away whip crack away whip crack a^Cway

Bridge

The wheels go ^Fturning round ^Chomeward bound ^Gcan't you hear them ^Chumming ^FHappy times are ^Ccoming for to ^Gstay - ^Ghey

Verse 4

We'll be ^Chome tonight by the light of the silvery moon And our hearts are thumping like a mandolin plunking a ^Gtune When I get home I'm ^Cfixing to stay So ^Gwhip crack away whip crack away whip crack a^Cway ^GWhip crack away whip crack away whip crack a^Gway^C
