Bob Fudge Chords & Lyrics - Colter Wall

[VERSE 1]
My name is Bob F[Em]udge

I was born in Texas
Lampasas Cou[Am]nty

Back during the war
Small Pox and Coma[Em]nches

Took most of my family
Le[Am]ft my poor mother,
My broth[G]ers, and [Em]me

So I headed North

To ride for the Blockers
They were contractin' he[Am]rds

On the Montana range
In the Spr[Em]ing of the year '82

We left ol' Lampasas
With two thou[Am]sand steers
[G]For the Little Big Hor[Em]n

[CHORUS]
Crossing our tra[C]ils
There were many great riv[Am]ers
All to be cros[C]sed
Not a bridge would we fi[D]nd

[VERSE 2]
In the cold rolling wa[Em]ters

And the wild plunging cattle
There was many a you[Am]ng man
Took[G] leave of his lif[Em]e

[CHORUS]

[C] [G] [Am] [Am] [G] [C] [Em]

[VERSE 3]

Well we crossed at Doan's Store

Into the Indian nation
Saw the blood on the roc[Am]ks

Where those cowboys had died
Then it's on Fort Do[Em]dge

On the Arkansas River
Where gamb[Am]lers and the whores
Al[G]l welcomed us th[Em]ere

[CHORUS]
And the great snowcapped pe[C]aks
Are on our left side n[Am]ow
For many mil[C]es
In the great silent la[D]nd

[VERSE 4]
When I first saw Mont[Em]ana

I knew I would love her
I would ride her great rang[Am]es
'Til the en[G]d of my day[Em]s

[CHORUS]

[C] [G] [Am] [G] [C] [Em]

[VERSE 5]

But she's all cut-and-dry now

And the trails are all gone
I've been to Yellowstone Pa[Am]rk

In an automobile
But I can still see 'em swimm[Em]ing

Boys, I can still hear 'em running
I came off of the trai[Am]ls

When cowboys was king

My name is Bob Fu[Em]dge

I died in Montana

[C] [G] [Am] [G] [C] [Em] [Am]
