Bald Butte Chords & Lyrics - Colter Wall

[CHORUS]
Ba[C]ld Butte, Bald Butte so lofty and so [C7]high
Car[F]ry me to Bald Butte
Where the plains wrap round the s[C]ky
You can d[G]ig a hole on Bald Butte when I d[C]ie

[VERSE 1]
He[C]nry was born on Bald Butte
A paint horse he did r[C7]ide
We[F]ll he roped him in Alberta
Broke him on the Montana l[C]ine
To[G]re him a trail through the northwest countrys[C]ide

[VERSE 2]
He[C]nry took to stealing
Robbing on the CP R[C7]ail
H[F]e got the devil on his shoulders
And the law man on his ta[C]il
You better ri[G]de, Henry ride
You ain't got no friends to go your b[C]ail

[VERSE 3]
We[C]ll he rode across the Grey Back camp
Up in Cypress Hi[C7]lls
Th[F]ey said they left the US nation
On the day that Richmond f[C]ell
Th[G]ey whistled Dixie and set him up a st[C]ill

[VERSE 4]
He[C]nry woke the next morn
Like a corpse from the gr[C7]ave
Ha[F]lf blind and twice as haggard
He took a cast iron to the br[C]ain
They st[G]ole his horse and the rifle that shared his [C]name

[VERSE 5]
An[C]d he tracked them former Johnny Rebs
Through the prairie and the tr[C7]ees
U[F]p old Castle Mountain
Cross the river Wapi[C]ti
L[G]ow and behold, what do you think he se[C]es

I see my paint
I see my ri[F]fle that shares my na[C]me
I see them m[G]en that done me wrong
Lord, I'm gonna do them just the s[C]ame

[VERSE 6]
He[C]nry grabbed his rifle
Up off of the g[C7]round
He kissed the e[F]ver-loving barrel
And he shot them old boys d[C]own
They h[G]it the dirt, he revelled in the s[C]oumd

[VERSE 7]
No[C]w he's back up in the saddle
Back up on the [C7]top
When he f[F]elt that southern slug
Chew a hole right through his g[C]ut
He t[G]hought he killed them all
But he had n[C]ot

[VERSE 9]
Th[C]at paint took off a running
Through the water and the [C7]mud
No e[F]arthly force in this whole world
Could stop that 'Berta s[C]tud
He[G]nry sat there laughing up his b[C]lood

A[C]nd he was singing

[CHORUS]
[C]Bald Butte, Bald Butte so lofty and so hi[C7]gh
Ca[F]rry me to Bald Butte
Where the plains wrap round the the s[C]ky
You can d[G]ig a hole on Bald Butte when I d[C]ie
