James Keelaghan - Number 37


INTRO: G+G D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC

     G+G
She wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown
 C majorC            D MajorD
I saw her at a rodeo in a high plains western town
   G+G
Underneath the turquoise sky a thunderstorm was rolling in
  C majorC              D MajorD
The infield getting sticky, the crowd was wearing thin

     E minorEm         G+G
Now, I'm not for barrel racing, I cannot say I'd gone
  C majorC                  D MajorD
To see some woman ride flat out, as she bounced and turned for home
  E minorEm       G+G
And riding hell-for-leather, the bit between her teeth
   C majorC     D MajorD
It's poetry in motion


       G+G
She wore the number 37, she was the seventh one to ride
  C majorC                D MajorD
She showed no hint of nerves and she sat her horse with pride
     G+G
Horse and rider leapt together, I wished that I could hear
  C majorC                   D MajorD
The words she spoke to spur him on as she leaned down to his ear


   E minorEm        G+G
They rounded the first barrel, from the bleachers I could see
  C majorC                 D MajorD
She didn't use a riding crop, for the horse ran like a breeze
    E minorEm      G+G
'Round barrel two I stammered, she closed the figure eight
   C majorC                 D MajorD
When up popped barrel three as she was lingering, yeah


INTERLUDE:
    D MajorD  G+G      C majorC   G+G   D MajorD   C majorC
Heyyyy hey hey hey hey hey I hey I hey I heyyy

      G+G
I know she didn't use a riding crop, she barely used her spurs
C majorC                 D MajorD
She used hands and knees, she used gentle, loving words
  G+G
I'd like to say she won that day, that wouldn't be the fact
  C majorC               D MajorD
She crossed the line in '69 in the middle of the pack


   E minorEm        G+G
You'd never know she'd lost, she grinned from ear to ear
  C majorC                    D MajorD
She stroked the charger's neck and once more whispered in his ear
    E minorEm        G+G
She was happy that they'd done that well, nobody got hurt
    C majorC               D MajorD       G+G    D MajorD G+G
She got all the speed she wanted using gentle loving words


INTERLUDE:
        C majorC  G+G    D MajorD   C majorC   G+G
Heyyyy hey hey hey I hey I hey I heyyy
     D MajorD  G+G    C majorC
Heyyyy I hey I hey I heyyy
    G+G   D MajorD   C majorC
Heyy I hey I hey I heyyy


        G+G
So hats off to sweet 37, wherever you may be
  C majorC                  D MajorD
The pleasure's not from winning, it's in riding wild and free
  G+G
And one thing that I won that day, you can whip and you can curse
      C majorC                D MajorD       G+G
But you'll never [ ? ] and ride if you use gentle loving words
