Marty Robbins - Utah carol

^CAnd now my ^C/Gfriends you've ^Casked me what ^Fmakes me sad and ^Cstill^C/G And ^Cwhy my ^G7brow is ^Cdarkened like the ^G7clouds upon the ^Chill ^FRun in your ponies ^Ccloser and I'll ^Ftell to you my ^Ctale Of ^CUtah ^G7Carol my ^Cpartner and his ^G7last ride on the ^Ctrail

We ^Crode the ^C/Grange to^Cgether and ^Frode it side by ^Cside I ^Cloved him ^G7like a ^Cbrother and I ^G7wept when Utah ^Cdied ^FWe were rounding up one ^Cmorning when ^Fwork was almost ^Cdone When ^Con his ^G7side the ^Ccattle started ^G7on a frightened ^Crun

^CUnder^C/Gneath the ^Csaddle that the ^Fboss's daughter ^Crode ^CUtah that ^G7very ^Cmorning had ^G7placed a bright red ^Crobe So the ^Fsaddle might ride ^Ceasy for ^FLenore his little ^Cfriend And ^Cit was ^G7this red ^Cblanket ^G7that brought him to his ^Cend

The ^Cblanket ^C/Gwas now ^Cdragging be^Fhind her on the ^Cground The ^Cfrightened ^G7cattle ^Csaw it and ^G7charged it with a ^Cbound Le^Fnore then saw her ^Cdanger and ^Fturned her pony's ^Cface And ^Cleaning ^G7in the ^Csaddle tied the ^G7blanket to its ^Cplace

But in ^Cleaning ^C/Glost her ^Cbalance fell in ^Ffront of that wild ^Ctide Lay ^Cstill Le^G7nore I'm ^Ccoming were the ^G7words that Utah ^Ccried His ^Ffaithful pony ^Csaw her and ^Freached her with a ^Cbound I ^Cthought he'd ^G7been suc^Ccessful and ^G7raised her from the ^Cground

But the ^Cweight up^C/Gon the ^Csaddle had ^Fnot been felt be^Cfore His ^Cback cinch ^G7snapped like ^Cthunder and ^G7he fell by Le^Cnore ^FPicking up the ^Cblanket he ^Fswung it over his ^Chead And s^Ctarted ^G7cross the ^Cprairie "Lay ^G7still Lenore" he ^Csaid

When he ^Cgot the ^C/Gstampede ^Cturned and ^Fsaved Lenore his ^Cfriend Then ^Cturned to ^G7face the ^Ccattle and ^G7meet his fatal ^Cend His ^Fsix gun flashed like ^Clightning the re^Fport rang loud and ^Cclear As the ^Ccattle ^G7rushed and ^Ckilled him he ^G7dropped the leading ^Csteer

^COn his ^C/Gfuneral ^Cmorning I ^Fheard the preacher ^Csay I ^Chope we'll ^G7all meet ^CUtah at the ^G7roundup far a^Cway Then they ^Fwrapped him in a ^Cblanket that ^Fsaved his little ^Cfriend And i^Ct was t^G7his red ^Cblanket that ^G7brought him to his ^Cend
