Black Baldy Stallion chords by Robert Earl Keen

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm               D MajorD
Slidin' down the canyon on the Black Baldy Stallion
       C majorC
Through the rocks and the ridges of the cold dark night
E minorEm                D MajorD
Shinin' like a diamond from the belt of Orion
  A minorAm          C majorC
Is it your imagination, is the end in sight?
E minorEm                  D MajorD
From the top of the mountain to the edge of the water
   A augmentedA             C majorC           E minorEm
You can hear her singin' softly so you spring to the order
    D MajorD                     A augmentedA
Of the song she was singin' the first time you saw her
  C majorC                     G+G
The years melt away as you ride toward the border.

      F# minorF#m      A minorAm     C majorC    G+G
Such a long, long way to ride
D MajorD             E MajorE   C majorC  G+G
Just to hear her say your name
D MajorD             A minorAm  D MajorD  C majorC  D MajorD  C majorC
When you reach the other side
D MajorD        G+G
You won't leave her again.

E minorEm                 D MajorD
It's a resonating wonder how you've never knuckled under
A minorAm        E minorEm          C majorC
To the Elders of the village on that early Easter mornin'
E minorEm              D MajorD
Cause you never broke your promises and bonding her is all
  A augmentedA
there is
E minorEm            C majorC        G+G
Ridin' through the river in the fiery dawnin'.

D MajorD             A minorAm
Such a long, long way to ride
D MajorD          A minorAm  C majorC  G+G
Just to hear her say your name
D MajorD             A minorAm  C majorC  C majorC
When you reach the other side
  D MajorD         G+G
You won't leave her again.

E minorEm             D MajorD
Sittin' in the cafe on the corner of the plaza
A minorAm            C majorC
She's openin' the letter you could not deliver
E minorEm              D MajorD
As the Black Baldy Stallion riderlessly passes
A minorAm                      G+G
Gleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the river

D MajorD             A minorAm
Such a long, long way to ride
D MajorD          A minorAm  C majorC  G+G
Just to hear her say your name

When you reach the other side
D MajorD           G+G
You won't leave her again.

Just to hear her say your name
 D MajorD            A minorAm  C majorC  C majorC
When you reach the other side

You won't leave her again.
