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