Verse 1
D
Trooper hook upon his horse
is a mighty wondrous thing
G
But the cavalry comes a -chargin'
and the Indian arrows sing
Trooper Hook knew the

never threw,
D

never threw
D
The mountains stretched
their lonely peaks
against the copper sky
G
The dusty earth resounded as the
Trooper he rode by
C
makes a man feel mighty big
D
Give me earth, give me sky,
C

let me live, let me die as a trooper

And he found a captive wife
of an Apache Indian chief
G
It's his duty to restore her
to her husband bowed with grief

D
And she knew fear and danger,
C
D
C
D
C

too, danger, too
D
Oh, great and strong the man was he,
in his heart he was so kind

She aimed to give him peace and rest,

Mortal danger
The trooper walked to meet the chief
with a firm and steady tread
watched the scene
and the women filled with dread

Life or death, what would it be?

C
And so he chanced a desperate game
D
Would the chief give up his claim
