Tom Russell - Bucking Horse Moon


CAPO: 3rd Fret


Intro:
G+G

Verse 1:
           D MajorD        E minorEm     C majorC
Down a one lane road, there’s a dusty fairground
          G+G      D MajorD     G+G
Where I learned the bronc trade, I fell in love
            D MajorD       E minorEm    C majorC
With a blue eyed twister and her smoky whisper
       G+G   D MajorD       G+G
She said they call me the Cimarron Dove

Verse 2:
            D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC
We’d spool our bedrolls on down together
       G+G  D MajorD         G+G
My calloused hands comb through her hair
           D MajorD         E minorEm     C majorC
She’d stare at a star through an old mesquite tree
        G+G   D MajorD            G+G
“See that moon shadow, there’s a bucking horse there”


Chorus:
       Am7Am7      G+G
Sweet bird of youth, no easy keeper
        Am7Am7   C majorC    D MajorD
Flown with the seasons, all too soon
     C majorC         B minorBm
Beneath Montana's blue roan sky
     A minorAm    C majorC          G+G
Nevada’s starlight and a bucking horse moon


Verse 3:
          D MajorD        E minorEm   C majorC
Our love reeled out like a western movie
        G+G    D MajorD         G+G
Down hard worn highways, through the rodeo towns
           D MajorD         E minorEm   C majorC
Wrapped in her wings, for the midnight flying
          G+G  D MajorD       G+G
That bucking horse moon kept shining down

Bridge:
       E minorEm           B minorBm
Bucking horse moon on the hood of the truck
        C majorC           G+G
She’d smile and say, “That means good luck”
       E minorEm             B minorBm
Bucking horse shadow, through the purple sage
       C majorC          D MajorD
We’ll ride forever, our love won’t age


Verse 4:
       G+G  D MajorD       E minorEm    C majorC
But heart and bones are made for breaking
      G+G  D MajorD         G+G
The Cimarron Dove’s flown with the wind
             D MajorD       E minorEm  C majorC
Then a bronc in Prescott, rolled on my back
      G+G  D MajorD       G+G
I’ll never ride rough-stock again


Chorus:
       Am7Am7      G+G
Sweet bird of youth, no easy keeper
        Am7Am7   C majorC    D MajorD
Flown with the seasons, all too soon
     C majorC         B minorBm
Beneath Montana's blue roan sky
     A minorAm    C majorC          G+G   A minorAm C majorC G+G
Nevada’s starlight and a bucking horse moon


Verse 6:
        D MajorD       E minorEm      C majorC
I lost my youth on the dusty fairgrounds
         G+G    D MajorD        G+G
I’m an old bronc fighter, long past high noon
              D MajorD        E minorEm     C majorC
But on a haunted night-wind, I can hear her whispering
        G+G    D MajorD           G+G   C majorC
As I search the heavens, for the bucking horse moon
      G+G  D MajorD           G+G
The Cimarron Dove and the bucking horse moon


Chorus:
       Am7Am7      G+G
Sweet bird of youth, no easy keeper
        Am7Am7   C majorC    D MajorD
Flown with the seasons, all too soon
     C majorC         B minorBm
Beneath Montana's blue roan sky
     A minorAm    C majorC          G+G   A minorAm C majorC G+G
Nevada’s starlight and a bucking horse moon
    A minorAm   C majorC          G+G   A minorAm C majorC G+G
My omen sundown and a bucking horse moon
