The Ranger's Command Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
There was a [G]little girlie
who [C]lived on the plain
She [D]would help me herd cattle
in a [C]slow, 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 [C]a cold bitter c[G]up.[C][D][C][D][G]
I taught her my caltrain
and [C]ranger's command
How to [D]use a six -shooter
in [C]each of her [G]hand
How to use a six -shooter
and [C]never to run
Long as [D]she had a bullet
for a [C]load in her [G]gun. [C]guitar[D][C][G]
The Indians broke on us
in the [C]midst of the night
We [D]arose from our warm bed,
those [C]red skins to [G]fight.
Loud roared the thunder,
and [C]down poured the rain.
In [D]came a stray bullet,
And [C]diced out her [G]brain
I hopped in my saddle
With a [C]gun in each hand
Come [D]all ye gay cowboys
Let's [C]win this fair [G]land
Come all ye gay cowboys
For to[C]night we may die
The [D]Redskins have murdered
My [C]own darling [G]wife
