Guy Clark - Indian cowboy

If you^D ever go^A7 out to the ^Dcircus Where the Wallendas walk on the ^Awire I'll t^Dell you a tale to rem^Gember When the wh^Dite horses l^A7eap rings of f^Dire

It w^Das a col^A7d night in O^Dklahoma And the show was about to ^Abegin The a^Dnimals they were all ^Grestless When the ^Dstar-hor^A7se broke fro^Dm her pen

Well, ^Dshe was a ^A7mare of high ^Dspirit Like a whore on a Saturday ^Anight Just ^Da-kickin' and a-buckin' wh^Gile the men were a-brushin' ^DThe elephants ^A7lying on ther^De sides

Now c^Dlose to the ^A7tent sat so^Dme lanterns They were dangerously close to ^Athe hay That ^Dmare headed straight for those^G lanterns ^DSome fool ha^A7d left by m^Distake

^DThen up st^A7eps an Indian ^DCowboy And his lasso went whirrlin throu^Agh the air Smack^D-dab in the middle of ^Gdanger ^DHe roped th^A7at runaway^D mare

^DAnd the elephan^A7ts raised up their t^Drumpets And two of them broke from thei^Ar chains Stampe^Dded that Indian ^GCowboy ^DWho had saved t^A7he big-top from ^Dflames

^DSo if you ev^A7er go out to the c^Dircus Where the Wallendas walk on the^A wire Rememb^Der that Indian ^GCowboy ^DWhen the white horses ^A7leap rings of ^Dfire
