[Intro]
E A B E

[Verse 1]
E
Well I bought me a horse with a broken leg
A
They said that she never could win
E
Only fit for a bullet they said
A B E
She’ll be coming out of a tin
E
So I took her home, I fed her on hay,
A
I tied her up with a sling
E
Well, she just kept howling all of the night
A B E
And that’s the reason I sing

[Chorus]
E
Well, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning,
A
That’s how she got her name
E
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning,
B D A
I never will sleep again
E
Ah, Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
E A
That’s how she got her name
E
Both Ends Burning, Both Ends Burning
B D A
I never will sleep again

[Verse 2]
E
I took her to the race-track one fine day
A
They couldn’t believe their eyes
E
They said, if that nag even stays on her feet
A B E
We’re going to give you first prize
