Ballad Of A Runaway Horse easy guitar chords by 
Emmylou Harris
N/A•
Verse 1
G
Say a prayer for the cowgirl
Her horse ran away
C
She'll walk 'til she finds
him, her darling
G
Her stray but the river's in flood and
The roads are awash
D
And the bridges break up in the
G
panic of loss
Verse 2
G
And there's nothing to follow,
nowhere to go
C
He's gone like the summer,
gone like the snow
G
And the crickets are breaking her
Heart with their song
D
As the day caves in and
G
The night is all wrong
Verse 3
G
Did she dream? Was it he
Who went galloping past?
C
And bent down the fern,
broke open the grass
G
And printed the mud with
The well hammered shoe
D
That she nailed to his speed in
G
The dreams of her youth
Verse 4
G
And although he goes
grazing a minute away
C
She tracks him all night
She tracks him all day
G
And she's blind to his
Presence except to compare
D
G
Her injury here with his punishment there
Verse 5
G
C
Then at home on a branch
on a high stream
G
A songbird sings out so suddenly
C
And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride
G
D
G
On a willow tree by the riverside
Verse 6
G
Ah the world is sweet
and the world is wide
C
And he's there where the light
And the darkness divide
G
And the steam's coming off him
He's huge and he's shy
D
And he steps on the moon when
G
He paws at the sky
Verse 7
G
And he comes to her hand
But he's not really tame
C
He longs to be lost,
she longs for the same
G
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge
Through the first open pass
D
To roll and to feed in
G
The sweet mountain grass
Verse 8
G
Or he'll make a break for
the high plateau
C
Where there's nothing above
and nothing below
G
It's time for their burden
The whip and the spur
D
Will she ride with him or
G
Will he ride with her?
Verse 9
G
C
So she binds herself to her galloping steed
G
And he binds himself to the
woman in need
C
And there is no space, just left and right
G
And there is no time
D
G
But there is day and night
Verse 10
G
Then she leans on his neck
and whispers low
C
Whither thou goest, I will go
G
And they turn as one and
They head for the plain
D
No need for the whip,
G
oh no need for the rein
Verse 11
G
Now the clasp of this union
Who fastens it tight
C
Who snaps it asunder the very next night
G
Some say it's him, some say it's her
D
Some say love's like smoke
G
beyond all repair
Verse 12
G
So my darling, my darling, just let it go by
C
That old silhouette on
the great western sky
G
And I'll pick out a tune
And they'll move right along
D
And they're gone like smoke and
G
They're gone like this song
Outro 1
Say a prayer for the cowgirl
G

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
