Tonart: D major
Verse 1
C
F
C
G
C
And now, my friends,
you ask me
F
C
what makes me sad and still
F
C
And why my brow is darkened
D
like clouds upon the hill
G
C
Run in your pony closer
F
and I'll tell you all the tale
C
F
C
Of Utah Corral, my partner,
G
C
and his last ride on the trail
Mid the cactus and the mesquite
C
F
C
Where the cattle roam in thousands,
D
many a herd and many a brand
G
C
There's a grave with
neither headstone,
F
C
neither date nor name
F
C
There lies my partner sleeping in
G
C
the land from which I came
We rode the rains together
F
C
and rode it side by side
F
C
I loved him as a brother,
G
C
We were rounding up one morning,
F
C
our work was almost done.
G
C
on a mad and fearful run.
The boss's little daughter
F
C
was holding on that side.
F
C
She started in to turn them,
D
G
that's where my partner died.
C
She used a saddle blanket
F
C
given her by a friend.
F
C
It was this bright red blanket
G
C
brought Utah to his end.
As Beryl rushed her pony
F
C
at the cattle on the right
F
C
The blanket slipped beneath her
D
and cut the stirrup tight
G
C
When the cowboy saw the blanket,
F
they all held their breath
C
F
C
If now should the pony fail her,
G
C
none could save her from her death
When Barrow saw the cattle,
F
C
she turned her pony's face
F
C
She leaned from out her saddle -tide,
D
the blanket in its place
G
C
But in leaning, lost her blanket,
F
fell in front of that wild tide
C
F
C
Lie still, Barrow, I'm coming,
G
C
were the words my partner cried
About 15 yards behind her,
F
C
Utah come ridin' fast
F
C
Though he never saw that mo ment,
D
G
the ride would be his last
C
His pony reached Farrell
F
with firm and steady bound
C
F
C
He swung from out the saddle
G
C
to catch her from the ground
But the cinches of his saddle
F
had not been felt before
C
F
C
and his backstitch snapped asunder
D
and he fell beside Barrow.
G
C
He now picked up the blanket
F
C
and swung it over his head
F
C
and started across the prairie
G
C
lie still Barrow he said.
His six gun flashed like lightning
F
the report rang loud and clear
C
F
as the cattle rushed to kill him
C
D
G
he dropped the leading steer
C
and when we broke the circle
C
F
C
with many a wound and bruise,
G
C
his young life had ebbed away
And in some future morning
F
I heard the preacher say
C
F
C
I hope we'll all meet Utah
G
D
at the roundup far away
G
C
Then we wrapped him in a blanket,
F
set him by his little friend
C
F
And was that very blanket
C
G
C
F
C
G
C
that brought Utah to his end
