Black Baldy Stallion Chords & Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

[Em]Slidin' down the canyon on the B[D]lack Baldy Stallion
Through the ro[C]cks and the ridges of the cold dark night
[Em]Shinin' like a diamond from the b[D]elt of Orion
Is [Am]it your imagination, i[C]s the end in sight?
[Em]From the top of the mountain to the e[D]dge of the water
You c[A]an hear her singin' softly[C] so you spring to the o[Em]rder
Of the s[D]ong she was singin' the first time you saw[A] her
The[C] years melt away as you ride toward the bor[G]der.

[CHORUS]
Such a long[F#m] , long way to r[Am]ide [C] [G]
[D]Just to hear her say your n[E]ame [C] [G]
[D]When you reach the other s[Am]ide [D] [C] [D] [C]
[D]You won't leave [G]her again.

[Em]It's a resonating wonder how you've[D] never knuckled under
[Am]To the Elders of [Em]the village on that ea[C]rly Easter mornin'
[Em]Cause you never broke your pro[D]mises and bonding her is all
ther[A]e is
[Em]Ridin' through the river [C]in the fiery daw[G]nin'.

[CHORUS]
[D]Such a long, long way to r[Am]ide
[D]Just to hear her say [Am]your n[C]ame [G]
[D]When you reach the other s[Am]ide [C] [C]
You[D] won't leave her a[G]gain.

[GUITAR SOLO]
[D] [Am] [C] [G] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [G] [D] [Am] [C] [D] [C] [D] [G]

[Em]Sittin' in the cafe on the c[D]orner of the plaza
[Am]She's openin' the letter y[C]ou could not deliver
[Em]As the Black Baldy Stallion r[D]iderlessly passes
[Am]Gleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the r[G]iver

[D]Such a long, long way to r[Am]ide
[D]Just to hear her say [Am]your [C]name [G]
[D]When you reach the other [Am]side [C]
[D]You won't leave her ag[G]ain.
... [D]a long, long way to [Am]ride [C] [G]
Just[D] to hear her say your [A]name[D] [G]
Wh[D]en you reach the other s[Am]ide [C] [C]
[D]You won't leave her a[G]gain. [Em]

[D]You won't leave her a[G]gain.[Em]
