Intro 1
(A major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Bell star, bell star,
tell me (G major) where have you gone?
Since (A major) old Oklahoma's red (D major) sand hills
you roamed.
Is it heaven's wide streets
where you're (G major) ty ing your reins?
Or (A major) single footing somewhere below?
(D major) Eight men, they say,
combed your (G major) wavy black hair.
Eight (A major) men do the feel
of your (D major) dark velvet waist.
Eight men knew the touch
of your tan (G major) circling skirt
Eight (A major) men heard the bark of the guns
that you (D major) wore Cole Younger was
the first father (G major) of your girl
The (A major) name that you picked for your (D major) daughter
was Pearl Cole robbed the bank
and he drew (G major) the life's line
But I (A major) heard he was pardoned
after twenty years' time (D major) (G major) (A major) (D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major)
Your Cherokee lover,
Blue (G major) Duck was his name
He loved (A major) you in the sand hills
before (D major) your great fame
Blue Duck stopped the bullet in (G major) 1885
Now your blue (A major) duck's no longer alive (D major)
You took Jim Ridd
to your (G major) warm wedding bed
From (A major) out of your love was
(D major) born the boy Ed
Some pal killed Jim Ridd
by the dark (G major) of the moon
And your (A major) son Ed was blowed down
in a drunken saloon (D major)
Bell star, bell star,
tell me (G major) where have you gone
Since old (A major) Oklahoma's red (D major) sand hills
you roamed
Is it heaven's wide streets
where you're (G major) tying your reins
Or single (A major) footing somewhere below?
(D major) Next came Bob Younger,
you loved (G major) him so well
He rode (A major) with the James Boys
out (D major) on the Long Trail
Bob was caught in Minnesota,
in Northfield (G major) they say
And he (A major) died down in jail
with a long rus (D major) ted chain
Then you made love to
William Clark (G major) Quantrell
Civil (A major) War guerrillas in Mis (D major) souri Hills
He hit Lawrence, Kansas
and (G major) fought them still
When (A major) he rode out to Hundred Lake (D major) Hill
Bell Star, Bell Star,
tell me (G major) where have you gone
Since old (A major) Oklahoma's red (D major) sand hills
you roamed
Is it heaven's wide streets
where you're (G major) tying your reins
Or single (A major) footing somewhere below
(D major) They tell me you could have,
they say (G major) that you might
I loved (A major) Frank James on a
(D major) couple of nights
Frank fought the Midland Railroad
down (G major) near to death
And in (A major) 1915
Frank threw his last (D major) breath
Bell star, bell star,
my times (G major) are getting late
I've (A major) told of your lovers,
I've (D major) told of their fate
Your friend Jesse James
had a wife (G major) and a son,
but (A major) Jesse got shot down
by the Ford Brothers'
(D major) gun. (G major) (A major)
(D major) (G major) (A major)
(D major)
Eight men, they say,
combs your (G major) wavy black hair
Eight (A major) men knew the feel
of your (D major) dark velvet waist
Eight men knew the touch
of your tan (G major) circling skirt
Aiden (A major) men heard the bark
of the guns
that you (D major) wore
