Misc Cartoons – Pecos Bill - Tall Tale (Guitar)

           C               G7             C
Oh! Pecos Bill was quite a cowboy down in Texas

                    G7              C
And the western superman to say the least

C7            F
He was the roughest, toughest critter

       C
Never known to be a quitter

                       G7                  C
Cause he never had no fear of man or beast

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

        C              G7                  C
Once he roped a raging cyclone out of nowhere

                         G7                C
Then he straddled it and settled down with ease

C7             F
And while that cyclone bucked and flitted

       C
Pecos rolled a smoke and lit it

                         G7             C
And he tamed that ornery wind down to a breeze

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

           C                    G7            C
Once there was a drought that spread all over Texas

                G7           C
So to sunny Californy he did go

C7             F
And though the gag is kinda corny

     C
He brought rain from Californy

                          G7      C
That's the way we got the Gulf of Mexico

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

       C                G7              C
Once a band of rustlers stole a herd of cattle

                         G7                  C
But they didn't know the herd they stole was Bill's

C7          F
And when he caught them crooked villains

       C
Pecos knocked out all their fillins

                                  G7                  C
And that's the reason why there's gold in them there hills

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

      C                  G7               C
Pecos lost his way while travelin' on the desert

                    G7                 C
It was ninety miles across the burnin' sand

C7            F
He knew he'd never reach the border

      C
If he didn't get some water

                       G7         C
So he got a stick and dug the Rio Grande

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

        C                G7            C
While a tribe of painted indians did a wardance

                       G7              C
Pecos started shooting up their little game

C7            F
He gave them redskins such a shake up

       C
That they jumped out from their makeup

                           G7             C
That's the way the Painted Desert got its name

       F
Yippee-ai- ay i-ay

        C
Yippee-ai- oh

                          G7          C
For the toughest critter west of the  Alamo

      C              G7              C
While reclining on a cloud high over Texas

                          G7            C
With his gun  he made the stars evaporate

C7         F
Then Pecos saw the stars declinin'

       C
So he left one brightly shinin'

                     G7              C
As the emblem of the Lone Star texas state
