Key: D major
Verse 1
A
D
A
E
A
And now, my friends,
you ask me
D
A
what makes me sad and still
D
A
And why my brow is darkened
E
A
Run in your pony closer
A
D
A
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
E
A
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
A
D
A
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
E
A
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
D
A
neither date nor name
D
A
There lies my partner sleeping in
E
A
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
D
A
and rode it side by side
D
A
I loved him as a brother,
E
A
We were rounding up one morning,
D
A
our work was almost done.
E
A
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
D
A
was holding on that side.
D
A
She started in to turn them,
B
E
that's where my partner died.
D
A
given her by a friend.
D
A
It was this bright red blanket
E
A
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
D
A
at the cattle on the right
D
A
The blanket slipped beneath her
E
A
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
A
D
A
If now should the pony fail her,
E
A
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
D
A
she turned her pony's face
D
A
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
E
A
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
A
D
A
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
E
A
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
D
A
Utah come ridin' fast
D
A
Though he never saw that mo ment,
B
E
the ride would be his last
A
D
A
He swung from out the saddle
E
A
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
A
D
A
and his backstitch snapped asunder
E
A
He now picked up the blanket
D
A
and swung it over his head
D
A
and started across the prairie
E
A
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
A
D
as the cattle rushed to kill him
A
B
E
he dropped the leading steer
A
D
A
with many a wound and bruise,
E
A
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
A
D
A
I hope we'll all meet Utah
E
B
at the roundup far away
E
A
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
A
D
And was that very blanket
A
E
A
D
A
E
A
that brought Utah to his end
