Chris LeDoux – Wyoming Outlaw (Guitar)

Am               C
Somewhere on the prairie

  D                F
A yellow stud runs free

Am                  C
Running through the sage brush

E
Down through the coolies

    Am                   C
And there not far behind him

  D              F
A cowboy rides a long

     Am           D
He’s gonna try to catch him

    E                 Am  D  Am  D
And break him for his own

    Am                C
The chase goes on all morning

    D             F
And late into the day

    Am             C
The cowboy changes horses

   E
He staked along the way

    Am              C
The stud is growing weaker now

    D                F
And getting short of wind

   Am            D
He runs into the trap coral

    E                Am  D  Am  D
The cowboy shuts him in

    Am               C
The yellow stud with wild eyes

    D            F
The feared hated man

Am               C
Finally standing face to face

       E
In the hot dusty sand

    Am                C
The battle starts and rages on

  D                 F
Beneath the burning sun

    Am               D
The cowboy tried but couldn’t ride

     E             Am  D  Am  D
This yellow outlaw stud

   Am            C
He sold him to a rodeo

       D                   F
And it spread thru out the land

    Am             C
The legend of this yellow stud

    E
The baddest of the bad

Am              C
Then one day at Cheyenne

   D              F
We knew it had to come

    Am                D
The best of all bronc riders

   E                Am   D  Am  D
He drew that yellow stud

    Am               C
The wooden gate flew open

        D                  F
And the stud he bailed out high

     Am         C
An explosion of yellow horse

E
Seem to fill the sky

    Am                C
The stud kept getting stronger

    D                F
And thrashing up the earth

    Am            D
The cowboy blew a stirrup

    E                Am  D  Am  D
And crashed into the dirt

   Am            C
So violently the stud had bucked

D                   F
That he slipped and fell

   Am               D
As he went down his backbone snapped

    E               Am    Am
The yellow stud lay still

  D                     F
I heard one of them say

              Am         C
They’ll never be another bronc

E
Like the one that died today

    Am               C
But out there on the prairie

          D                 F
There’s a mare with mustang blood

      Am                     D
And a colt runs close beside her

         E      Am
A yellow outlaw stud
