Caballo Diablo (CHORDS) by Chris LeDoux
[Verse]~
Am G F E
Wild as a coastal barranca,, swift as the wind blowinâ free
Am G
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
F E
Somewhere up there heâs waitinâ for me
Am G F E
And he knows that Iâm cominâ for him,, And I just canât rest Îtil I find
Am G
That raven black stallion that wears no manâs brand
F E
with a wild restless spirit like mine
[Chorus]~
Am G Am
They call him Caballo Diablo,, half horse half devil they say
Am G F G Am
Caballo Diablo,, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
[Verse]~
Am G F E
Two men before tried to take him,, they had their chance one by one
Am G
But each met his fate when those flashinâ black hooves
F E
brought death ÎNeath the Mexican sun
Am G F E
Still I canât leave,, I must find him,, You fool of a horse canât you see..?
Am G F E
I may be half man,, but the other halfâs devil,, And youâre just exactly like me
[Chorus]~
Am G Am
They call him Caballo Diablo,, half horse half devil they say
Am G F G Am
Caballo Diablo,, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
[Verse]~
Am G F E
Even the breeze has stopped movinâ all hush now,, be still,,
Am G
Donât make a sound stay close to the ground
F E
ÎCuz heâs waitinâ just over that hill
Am G F E
Down wind behind him move quickly,, do it fast now,, heâs startinâ to stir
Am G
Grab a handful of mane,, then up on to his back,,
F E
And start rakinâ him down with my spurs
Am G F E
But try as he will he canât shake me as over the precipice we go
Am G F E
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below
[Chorus]~
Am G Am
They call him Caballo Diablo,, half horse half devil they say
Am G F G Am
Caballo Diablo,, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
Am G F E
