[Intro]
B
[Verse 1]
B
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away
E
She'll walk til she finds him her darling her stray
B
But the rivers in flood and the roads are awash
F# B
And the bridges break up in the panic of loss
[Verse 2]
B
And there's nothing to follow nowhere to go
E
He's gone like the summer gone like the snow
B
And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song
F# B
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong
[Verse 3]
B
Did she dream was it he who went galloping past
E
And bent down the fern broke open the grass
B
And printed the mud with the well-hammered shoe
F# B
That she nailed to his feet in the dreams of her youth
[Verse 4]
B
And although he goes grazing a minute away
E
She tracks him all night she tracks him all day
B
And she's blind to his presence except to compare
F# B
Her injury here with his punishment there
[Bridge 1]
E
Then at home on a branch on a high stream
B
A Songbird sings out so suddenly
