Capo 4th Fret

Verse:
A minorAm          G+G   FF             E MajorE
Wild as a coastal barranca, swift as the wind blowinâ free
   A minorAm               G+G
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
     FF             E MajorE
Somewhere up there heâs waitinâ for me
  A minorAm            G+G       FF            E MajorE
And he knows that Iâm cominâ for him, And I just canât rest Îtil I find
   A minorAm            G+G
That raven black stallion that wears no manâs brand
    FF             E MajorE
with a wild restless spirit like mine

Chorus:
A minorAm           G+G                A minorAm
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
A minorAm         G+G      FF     G+G    A minorAm
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre

Verse:
A minorAm           G+G     FF              E MajorE
Two men before tried to take him, they had their chance one by one
  A minorAm              G+G
But each met his fate when those flashinâ black hooves
    FF            E MajorE
brought death ÎNeath the Mexican sun
A minorAm             G+G       FF             E MajorE
Still I canât leave, I must find him, You fool of a horse canât you see?

 A minorAm            G+G         FF              E MajorE
I may be half man, but the other halfâs devil, And youâre just exactly like me

Chorus:
A minorAm           G+G                A minorAm
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
A minorAm         G+G      FF     G+G    A minorAm
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre

Verse:
A minorAm             G+G     FF       E MajorE
Even the breeze has stopped movinâ all hush now, be still,
A minorAm            G+G
Donât make a sound stay close to the ground
      FF           E MajorE
ÎCuz heâs waitinâ just over that hill
A minorAm             G+G       FF             E MajorE
Down wind behind him move quickly, do it fast now, heâs startinâ to stir

    A minorAm          G+G
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back,
  FF               E MajorE
And start rakinâ him down with my spurs
  A minorAm            G+G      FF          E MajorE
But try as he will he canât shake me as over the precipice we go
  A minorAm            G+G           FF       E MajorE
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below

Chorus:
A minorAm           G+G                A minorAm
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
A minorAm         G+G      FF     G+G    A minorAm
