The Last Stampede chords

[VERSE 1]

[Dm]I was born [Dm/C]in
[Dm]The early [Dm/C]mornin'
[Dm]In the winter [Dm/C]time, you s[Dm]ee
[Dm]With my mother
And my b[F]rother
In the m[C]iddle of the last st[Dm]ampede [Dm/C]

[VERSE 2]

[Dm]And of my f[Dm/C]ather
[Dm]He made his [Dm/C]dollar
[Dm]With a heavy h[Dm/C]ammer wo[Dm]rn
[Dm]In a canyon
Where they [F]found him
Just the [C]day before I was [Dm]born [Dm/C]

[VERSE 3]

[Dm]And as a c[Dm/C]hild
[Dm]My mother [Dm/C]smiled
[Dm]Saying, "Baby [Dm/C]now, don't f[Dm]orget
[Dm]Through all sorrow
God will [F]follow
But you [C]ain't seen nothin' [Dm]yet" [Dm/C]

[VERSE 4]

[Dm]As the time [Dm/C]flew
[Dm]And I too [Dm/C]grew
[Dm]Oh my mother [Dm/C]passed aw[Dm]ay
[Dm]While my brother
Took his c[F]over
With a [C]gun on a foreign [Dm]bay [Dm/C]

[VERSE 5]

[Dm]And I was lon[Dm/C]esome
[Dm]Oh so lone[Dm/C]some
[Dm]I was hungry [Dm/C]and on my[Dm] own
[Dm]No one near me
To defen[F]d me
I was a poor [C]soul and out left to [Dm]roam [Dm/C]

[VERSE 6]

[Dm]So I took off [Dm/C]walking
[Dm]My bare feet s[Dm/C]tomping
[Dm]Through my li[Dm/C]ttle country [Dm]town
[Dm]Inside the wind-blown
Dust and dog[F] bones
There was [C]nothing to be [Dm]found [Dm/C]

[VERSE 7]

[Dm]The buildings [Dm/C]ravaged
[Dm]Been turned to [Dm/C]savage
[Dm]And the scene, [Dm/C]it scarred my [Dm]heart
[Dm]Some were crying
Some were [F]dying
But you [C]couldn't tell the two a[Dm]part [Dm/C]

[VERSE 8]

[Dm]And by Dec[Dm/C]ember
[Dm]The hateful w[Dm/C]inter
[Dm]Brought a chi[Dm/C]lling awful [Dm]breeze
[Dm]And a preacher
A traveling [F]teacher
Who said the [C]ships had stole the [Dm]seas [Dm/C]

[VERSE 9]

[Dm]He said "Seek out [Dm/C]shelter
[Dm]"Let in the S[Dm/C]avior"
[Dm]He said to get o[Dm/C]n my knees and [Dm]pray
[Dm]"The fire is blazing
"And its shift is [F]changing
"And it's [C]headed out this [Dm]way" [Dm/C]

[VERSE 10]

[Dm]And down the hig[Dm/C]hway
[Dm]Through my door[Dm/C]way
[Dm]I could see a [Dm/C]lantern's [Dm]light
[Dm]Another traveler
Some rugged [F]rambler
Who said we'll [C]meet with God to[Dm]night [Dm/C]

[VERSE 11]

[Dm]And in the y[Dm/C]onder
[Dm]A sound like [Dm/C]thunder
[Dm]I saw that f[Dm/C]ire fall and [Dm]twirl
[Dm]Planes were crashing
Bombs were [F]flashing
And it [C]lit up the almighty [Dm]world [Dm/C]

[VERSE 12]

[Dm]And the pigs were [Dm/C]squealing
[Dm]With the horses [Dm/C]fleeing
[Dm]While that b[Dm/C]attle blew its [Dm]breath
[Dm]And at my window
With my [F]candle
I await[C]ed for my [Dm]death [Dm/C]
