	D	A6	Bm
	Alwa	ys al	one,

	G	G/F#bass	A7
	never	with a	herd

	D	A6	Bm
	Prettiest	mare I've	ever seen,

	G	G/F#bass	A7
	you'll	have to take my	word

	G	G/F#	bass	Em	A7	D	A6	Bm
	I'm	going	to	catch that	horse if I	can

	G	G/F#	bass	Em	A7	D	A6	Bm
	and	when	I	do I'll giv	e her my br	and

	D	A6	Bm
	Well I was	up on Stony Rid	ge

	G	G/F#bass	Em	A7
	after this	chestnut mare,	been chasing her for	weeks

	D	A6	Bm
	Oh I'd catc	h a glimpse of	her every once in a while

	G	G/F#bass	Em	A7	A7sus	A7	D
	taking	her meal,	bathin	g,	fine la	dy

	A6	Bm
	This one day I	happen to be real close to her

	G	G/F#bass	Em
	and I saw her standing ove	r there

	A7	D	A6	Bm
so I	snuck up on her	nice	an	d easy

	G	G/F#bass
got my rope out

	Em	A7
	and I flung it in the ai	r!

CHORUS

	G	G/F#	bass	Em	A7	D	A6	Bm
	I'm	going	to	catch that	horse if I	can

	G	G/F#	bass	Em	A7	D	A6	Bm
	and	when	I	do I'll giv	e her my br	and

	G	G/F#bass	Em
	And	we'll be	friends for life

	G	G/F#bass	Em
	She'll	be just like a	wife

	G	G/F#bass	Em	A7	D	A6	Bm
	I'm	going to	catch that	horse if I	can

And I got her and I'm pulling on her

And she's pulling back like this mule going up a ladder

And I take a choice and I jump right up on her

Damned if I don't land right on top of her

And she takes off, running up onto the ridge

higher than I've ever been before

She's running along just fine

'til she stops and something spooked her

it's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike

she doesn't know what to do for a second,

but then, she jumps off the edge, me holding on

(Canyon music!)

D (A bass, B bass) C C/B bass Em

Above the hills, higher than eagles were gliding

(Ebass, F# bass)

	G	D
	suspended in the	sky

	D
	over the hill

(A bass, B bass)

	C	C/B	bass	Em
	straight for the	sun	we were r	iding

(E bass, F# bass)

	G	G/F#	bass	Asus
	my eyes were	fille	d with	light

	D
	behind those black walls

(A bass, B bass) C C/B bass Em

below was a bottomless canyon

(Ebass, F# bass)

	G	D
	floating with no	sound

	D
	ghosts far below

(A bass, B bass)

	C	C/B	bass	Em
	seemed to be	sudd	enly	rising

	G	G/F#bass	Asus
	exploding	all around

(Chorus)

We were falling

down this crevice

about about a mile down it seem

and I looked down

And I see this red thing below us coming up real fast

and it's our reflection that's

this little pool of water about six feet wide and one foot deep

We're falling down right through it

We hit, we splashed it dry

that's when I lost my hold

and she got away

but I'm gonna try and get her again some day

(Chorus)
