Ranger's Command Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There was a little girlie
who [C]lived on the plain.
She would [D]help me herd cattle
in the [G]slow, [C]steady [G]rain.
She would help me herd cattle
the [C]whole year and round up
She would [D]take a drink with me
From a [G]cold [C]bitter [G]cup[C][D][G][C]
[G]Now the Indians
sun's broke on us
in the [C]midst of the night.
We [D]rose from our warm bed,
those [C]Indians to [G]fight.
Now out roared the thunder
and [C]down poured the rain.
In [D]came a stray bullet,
and it [G]dashed [C]out her bra[G]in.
I hopped in my saddle
with a [C]gun in each hand.
Come [D]all ye gay cowboys,
let's [G]win [C]this fair [G]land[C][D][G][C][G]
Come all ye gay cowboys,
for to[C]night we may die.
For [D]the Indians have murdered
my [G]own [C]darling [G]wife.
