Robert Earl Keen - Black baldy stallion

^EmSlidin' down the canyon on the B^Dlack Baldy Stallion Through the ro^Ccks and the ridges of the cold dark night ^EmShinin' like a diamond from the b^Delt of Orion Is ^Amit your imagination, i^Cs the end in sight? ^EmFrom the top of the mountain to the e^Ddge of the water You c^Aan hear her singin' softly^C so you spring to the o^Emrder Of the s^Dong she was singin' the first time you saw^A her The^C years melt away as you ride toward the bor^Gder.

Such a long^F#m, long way to r^Amide ^{C G D}Just to hear her say your n^Eame ^{C G D}When you reach the other s^Amide ^{D C D C D}You won't leave ^Gher again.

^EmIt's a resonating wonder how you've^D never knuckled under ^AmTo the Elders of ^Emthe village on that ea^Crly Easter mornin' ^EmCause you never broke your pro^Dmises and bonding her is all ther^Ae is ^EmRidin' through the river ^Cin the fiery daw^Gnin'.

^DSuch a long, long way to r^Amide ^DJust to hear her say ^Amyour n^Came ^{G D}When you reach the other s^Amide ^{C C} You^D won't leave her a^Ggain.

^EmSittin' in the cafe on the c^Dorner of the plaza ^AmShe's openin' the letter y^Cou could not deliver ^EmAs the Black Baldy Stallion r^Diderlessly passes ^AmGleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the r^Giver

^DSuch a long, long way to r^Amide ^DJust to hear her say ^Amyour ^Cname ^{G D}When you reach the other ^Amside ^{C D}You won't leave her ag^Gain. ... ^Da long, long way to ^Amride ^{C G} Just^D to hear her say your ^Aname^{D G} Wh^Den you reach the other s^Amide ^{C C D}You won't leave her a^Ggain. ^Em
