^Am Wild as a coastal bar ^G ranca, ^F swift as the wind blowinâ ^E free
With ^Am two eyes like fire brands that ^G glow in the night
Somewhere ^F up there heâs waitinâ fo ^E r me
And ^Am he knows that Iâm cominà ^G ¢ for him, And ^F I just canât rest Îti ^E l I find
That ^Am raven black stallion that ^G wears no manâs brand
with a ^F wild restless spirit like ^E mine
Chorus
^Am They call him Caballo Di ^G ablo, half horse half devil they ^Am say
^Am Caballo Diablo, the ^G outlaw up a ^F top the Si ^G erra Mad ^Am re
^Am Two men before tried to ^G take him, ^F they had their chance one by ^E one
But ^Am each met his fate when those f ^G lashinâ black hooves
brought ^F death ÎNeath the Mexican ^E sun
^Am Still I canât leave, I must ^G find him, You ^F fool of a horse canât yo ^E u
see?
^{Am G F} I may be half man, but th ^E e other halfâs devil, And youâre just exactly
like me
Chorus
^Am Even the breeze has stopped ^G movinâ all ^F hush now, be ^E still,
^Am Donât make a sound stay ^G close to the ground
ÎCuz heâs ^F waitinâ just over th ^E at hill
^Am Down wind behind him move q ^G uickly, do it ^F fast now, heâs startinâ t ^E o stir
Grab a ^Am handful of mane, then ^G up on to his back,
And ^F start rakinâ him down with my ^E spurs
But ^Am try as he will he canât ^G shake me as ^F over the precipice we ^E go
To ^Am shed the life blood of a ^G horse and a man on the ^F rocky sierra be ^E low
Chorus
