Black Baldy Stallion(Chords)

	        
Em                              D 
Slidin' down the canyon on the Black Baldy Stallion 
              C 
Through the rocks and the ridges of the cold dark night 
Em                               D 
Shinin' like a diamond from the belt of Orion 
   Am                    C 
Is it your imagination, is the end in sight? 
Em                                   D 
From the top of the mountain to the edge of the water 
     A                         C                      Em               
You can hear her singin' softly so you spring to the order   
        D                                         A 
Of the song she was singin' the first time you saw her 
   C                                          G 
The years melt away as you ride toward the border. 

           F#m            Am         C        G 
Such a long, long way to ride 
D                          E      C    G 
Just to hear her say your name 
D                         Am   D   C   D   C 
When you reach the other side  
D               G 
You won't leave her again.
 

Em                                 D 
It's a resonating wonder how you've never knuckled under 
Am               Em                    C 
To the Elders of the village on that early Easter mornin' 
Em                            D 
Cause you never broke your promises and bonding her is all 
    A 
there is 
Em                       C               G 
Ridin' through the river in the fiery dawnin'. 

D                         Am 
Such a long, long way to ride 
D                    Am    C    G 
Just to hear her say your name 
D                         Am   C    C 
When you reach the other side 
   D                 G 
You won't leave her again.

Em                          D 
Sittin' in the cafe on the corner of the plaza 
Am                        C 
She's openin' the letter you could not deliver 
Em                           D 
As the Black Baldy Stallion riderlessly passes 
Am                                           G 
Gleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the river 

D                         Am 
Such a long, long way to ride 
D                    Am   C    G 
Just to hear her say your name 
D                        Am   C  
When you reach the other side 
D                     G 
You won't leave her again. 
    D                   Am    C    G 
... a long, long way to ride 
    D                     A   D    G 
Just to hear her say your name 
  D                       Am    C    C 
When you reach the other side 
D                    G      Em 
You won't leave her again. 

D                    G    Em 
You won't leave her again.
