Caballo Diablo Chords by Chris Ledoux

[C#m] _ _ _ _ [D#] _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ [C#m] _ _ _
Wild as a [B] coastal bronca, [A] swift as the wind [G#] blowing free,
[C#m] With two eyes like [B] firebrands that glow in the night,
[A] Somewhere up there he's waiting [G#] for me, [C#m] And he knows that I'm [B] coming for him,
[A] And I just can't rest [G#] till I find, [C#m] That raven black [B] stallion who wears no man's
brand, [A] With a wild, roseless spirit [G#] like mine.
_ [E] [C#m] They call him Caballo [B] de Alva, Half horse, half devil [C#m] they say,
Caballo de Alva, [B] de Alva, [A] Up atop [B] the Sierra [C#m] Madre.
_ _ [G#m] _ [C#m] _ _ _
Two men before tried [B] to take him, [A] And they had their chance one [G#] by one,
[C#m] But each met his fate [B] when those flashing black hooves,
[A] Brought him beneath the Mexican [G#] sun.
[C#m] Still I can't believe [B] I must find him, [A] You fool of a horse [G#] can't you see,
[C#m] Well I'm maybe half [B] man, but the other half's devil,
[A] And you're just exactly [G#] like me.
_ [E] [C#m] They call him Caballo [B] de Alva, Half horse, half devil [C#m] they say,
Caballo de Alva, [B] de Alva, [A] Up atop [B] the Sierra [C#m] Madre. _ _ _ _ _ _
Even the breeze has [B] stopped moving.
[A] Hush now, be [G#] still, [C#m] don't make a sound, And stay [B] close to the ground,
[A] Cause he's waiting just over that hill.
[G#] _ [G#m] _
[C#m] Downwind behind him, [B] quickly, do [A] it fast now, He's starting [G#] to stir,
[C#m] Grab a handful of mane and up [B] onto his back, And [A] start raking him down with your [G#] spurs.
[C#m] Try as you will, he [B] can't shake me, [A] As over the press bus [G#] we go.
[C#m] Spill the life blood [B] of a horse and a man, [A] On the rotten Sierra [G#] below. _
_ [G#m] [C#m] They call him Caballo [B] de Alva, Half horse, half devil [C#m] they say,
Caballo de Alva, [B] de Alva, [A] Up atop the [B] Sierra [C#m] Madre.
