Stampede Cifras

D                      C
We made camp along Red River
            G                     D
Watched the cattle as they bedded down
                                C
Back at the wagons, right after supper
G                          D
Spread our bedrolls on the ground
           G                   D
And me and Willie, we took the night guard
        G                     D
And the sage never smelled so sweet
            G                 D
The prairie moon, was blazin' silver
            C               D
No chance tonight for a stampede
 
                            C
Way over yonder, off in the distance
            G                      D
Towards the mountains there in the west
                                C
Did I see lightnin', did I hear thunder
            G                       D
The mind is weary, I could use some rest
            G                        D
Then all at once, the wind shifts directions
                G                    D
The clouds roll in behind the tumble weeds
               G                   D
Those longhorn cattle, are gettin' restless
            C                D
God help us all, if they stampede
 
                         C
Smell the rain, hear the thunder
             G                   D
The midnight sky, turns black as death
                                 C
The lightnin' crashes, smell the sulphur
              G                  D
It's rank and strong, as Satan's breath
           G                  D
The cattle rise up, and go to runnin'
          G                    D
I spur my pony on and take the lead
               G                       D
And across the herd, I can hear Willie yellin'
C       D
Hey Stampede!

D C G D
 
            D            C
Dust clouds rise, as the rain falls
           G                       D
They mix together, turn the air to mud
                           C
I feel the longhorns brush against me
               G                        D
I can feel the demons racing through my blood
            G             D
Then all at once, my pony stumbles
           G                       D
We hit the ground, I rise up to my knees
              G                           D
In a flash of light, I can see the cattle comin'
                      C               D
Lord I know I'm gonna die in this stampede
 
                          C
Then I awake, and I look around me
          G                             D
I'm in my bedroll and I'm layin' on the ground
                                        C
Over there's the wagon, and there's the campfire
           G                     D
I was only dreamin', what's that sound?
               G                  D
And I feel the earth tremble underneath me
                G             D
As the midnight sky begins to bleed
             G                           D
And from the blackness I can hear Willie yellin'
C       D
Hey Stampede
