Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Let me tell you a tale and a good one I o[G]wn
[Dm]of an old [G]caballo a [C]strawberry roan
I was hangin' round town just [F]a spendin' my time
[G]out of a job and not earnin'[C] a dime
When a stranger steps up
[G]and he says
I suppose you're [F]a bronc [G]rider
by the looks [C]of your clothes
I says guess your right there's
none [F]I can't tame
If it[G]s ridin' wild ponies
that my middle [C]name
Oh that straw[G]berry [C]roan
[F]oh that strawberry [C]roan
He [F]says he's a cayuse that's
[C]never been rode
[F]The guy that gets on him is
[C]bound to get throwed
[G]Throwed of that strawberry [C]roan

[Verse 2]
[C]Out in the horse corral [G]standin' alone is an old caballo,
[C]a strawberry roan
Spavined old legs [F]an d small pigeon toes
[G]pair of pig eyes and a long Rom[C]an nose
Little pin ears and [G]they're split at the tip a
big forty four brand was on [C]his left hip
So I puts on my spurs [F]an
d I coils up my twine
[G]Says to that stranger that ten spot is min[C]e
Oh that strawberry roan [F]oh
that strawberry [C]roan
I'll [F]break him to saddle
or [C]break him my own
I'll [F]ride him until he lies
[C]down with a grown
Bring [G]on your strawberry
[C]roan

[Verse 3]
[C]Then I puts on my blinds
and it [G]sure is a fight
Next comes the saddle I
screws [C]her down tight
Steps up aboard him [F]and rises the blind get [G]out
the way boys he's gon[C]na unwind
Shore is a broad walker
[G]he heaves a big sigh
He only lacks wings for to
be [C]on the fly
He's the worse buckin' bronco
[F]I've seen on the range
[G]Turn on a nickle and give
you some [C]change
Oh that straw[G]berry [C]roan [F]oh
that strawberry [C]roan
[F]That sunfishin' critter's
worth [C]leavin' alone
There's [F]nary a buster
from [C]Texas to Nome
Can [G]ride that strawberry [C]roan
