🎸 Intro:

🎸 Verse 1:
D
Kim and I stole a stallion from a rodeo in Texas
                                   Bm
Took him north and sold him right away
   G                             Bm
We took the money and we ran but right behind us came a man
     G               A                  Bm  A
In a Stetson hat who vowed he'd make us pay

🎸 Verse 2:
    D
The buyer gave a good description of the girls who sold that stud
                                          Bm
And the man in the Stetson knew us right away
           G
Said there ain't two outlaws in this world
Bm
Fits the looks of those two girls
  G                 A           Bm
I know 'em but they always get away

🎸 Chorus:
       G             A                 D
And it wasn't long before we heard the news
      G                A             D               G
It's enough to give an old cowgirl a bad case of the blues
         Bm           A                                       D
But that Texas ranger met his match with the girls from Santa Cruz

🎸 Solo:
| Bm | A | Bm | A |

🎸 Verse 3:
D
Kim and I were used to trouble so we lit out on the double
                             Bm
Headin' for a border town we knew
        G
But the ranger caught us on the way
Bm
Stopped us dead what could I say
      G                A              Bm     A
And I figured that the two of us were through

🎸 Verse 4:
    D
But there was one thing I neglected
D
Love is often unexpected
                                     Bm
Guess that's just the way it's gonna be
          G
Cause the ranger took one look at Kim
    Bm
And she took one look back at him
    G              A               Bm
And neither one of them remembered me

🎸 Chorus:
       G             A                D
And it wasn't long before I heard the news
      G                A             D               G
It's enough to give an old cowgirl a bad case of the blues
         Bm           A                                        D
But that Texas ranger made his match with my friend from Santa Cruz
          Bm           A           G               A           D
Yeah, the Texas ranger got old Kim and he got that stallion too
