Verse:
D MajorD           A augmentedA                     D MajorD
I was barely 13 years old, she came out of the Guadalupe's on a night so cold
  D MajorD                          A augmentedA         D MajorD
Her coat was frosted diamonds in the sallow moon's glow
my silver palomino

D MajorD                   A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Sixteen hands from her withers to the ground
I lie in bed and listen to the sound
D MajorD              A augmentedA           D MajorD
 Of the west Texas thunder roll, my silver palomino

D MajorD                 A augmentedA                D MajorD
I track her into the mountains she loved, watch her from the rocks above
D MajorD                       A augmentedA            D MajorD
 She'd dip her neck and drink from the winter flows, my silver palomino

D MajorD                 A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Our mustaneros were the very best sir, but they could never lay a rope on her
D MajorD          A augmentedA            D MajorD
No corral will ever hold, the silver palomino

Bridge:
Gadd11/B      D MajorD      A augmentedA         D MajorD
 In my dreams bare-back I ride
over the pradera low and wide
Gadd11/B       D MajorD                    A augmentedA
 As the wind sweeps out the draw, 'cross the scrub desert floor

Verse:
D MajorD           A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'd give my riata and spurs, if I could be for-ever yours
D MajorD                A augmentedA          D MajorD        | D MajorD  | A augmentedA  | D MajorD  |
I'd ride into the serrania where no one goes, for my silver palomino

D MajorD               A augmentedA                 D MajorD
Summer drought come hard that year, our herd grazed the land so bare
D MajorD                         A augmentedA                         D MajorD
Me and my dad had to blowtorch the thorns off the prickly pear and mother, your hand slipped from my hair

D MajorD                        A augmentedA            D MajorD
Tonight I wake early the sky is pearl, the stars glow
I saddle up my red roan
D MajorD                          A augmentedA                       D MajorD
I ride deep into the mountains along a ridge of pale stone, where the air is still with the coming snow

D MajorD                   A augmentedA                      D MajorD
As I rise higher I can smell your hair
the scent of your skin, mother, fills the air
D MajorD                A augmentedA                D MajorD
'Midst the harsh scrub pine that grows
I watch the silver palomino
