🎸 Verse:
  E                       A
Old Mike Hernandez was a buena vaquero
E                        A             F#m
Rode some good horses Californio style
E                                A          D
Watched him for hours and he showed me a little
         A           D      E          A
Of the old California he knew for awhile
 E                        A
Started young horses in Bosal y Fiador
  E                     A      F#m     E
Unto the two rein the old Spanish spade
                         A                     D
Brought them along with two hands that were gentle
  A                 D          E           A
Some fine reining horses as ever were made

🎸 Chorus 1:
 D                   A             E          A
And he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reata
 D                A                          E
He hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barn
       D               A            E         A
And I watched and I wondered man how could he do that
 D                 A              E              A
Then he'd change direction and spin him some more
 F#m                        A
Round and round, spinnin' and round

🎸 Verse 2:
  E                       A
Had them big spurs that came from Chihuahua
 E                         A         F#m
They never had ever raked hide nor hair
E                        A                D
They had a nice jingle and when he rode by
 A               D              E             A
They made pertty music that danced on the air

🎸 Verse 3:
E                            A
Lived in a shack with his wife named Juanita
      E                         A          F#m
She cooked on a wood stove tortillas and beans
E                   A             D
After we'd eaten he said come I show
  A              D            A
What the word handle on a good cowhorse means

🎸 Chorus 2:
        D            A               E         A
And he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reata
D                 A                          E
He hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barn
    D                 A            E              A
And I watched and I wondered man how could he do that
         D           A             E              A
Then he'd change direction and spin him some more
F#m                             A
Round and round, spinnin' and round

🎸 Verse 4:
E                     A
He never did shout, he never did whisper
E                           A             F#m
He had his own lingo that they understood
      E                      A           D
The touch of a knee or the lift of a rein
  A              D             E                A
His horses all gave him the best that they could

🎸 Verse 5:
  E                    A
In an old shed out behind his adobie
  E                           A             F#m
I helped him to hang up his bridles and gear
   E                        A                   D
That's where I discovered an old tarp that covered
   A             D           E           A
Three trophy saddles won back many years

🎸 Chorus 3:
     D               A              E         A
And he'd spin that pony hanging onto the reata
   D              A                          E
He hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barn
        D               A         E               A
And I watched and I wondered man how could he do that
     D                A            E              A
Then he'd change direction and spin him some more

🎸 Chorus 4:

He hung from a rafter in the Willow Creek barn
         D               A        E                A
And I watched and I wondered man how could he do that
       D              A            E              A
Then he'd change direction and spin him some more

🎸 Outro:
   F#m                           A
Round and round, spinnin' and round
   F#m                           A
Round and round, spinnin' and round
