The Killers - The cowboys christmas ball

Way ^Cout in Old Nevada,^F where the Truckee's^C waters flow, Wher^Ce the cattle are &quo^Dt;a-browzin'" ^Gan' the Spanish ponies grow; Wher^Ce the Northers "come a-whist^Flin'" from b^Ceyond the Neutral Strip; And ^Cthe prairie dogs are sneezin', ^Fas if they ^Ghad "T^Che Grip"; Where ^Gthe coyotes come a^F-howlin' 'round the r^Canches after dark, And th^Ge blueb^Dmirds are ^Da-singin' t^Go the lovely "meadow lark"; Where ^Gthe bi^Dmghorns are a-gra^Fzin' and the lonely plo^Cvers call - It was^G there ^Dmthat I attended &qu^Fot;The ^GCowboys' Ch^Cristmas Ball." (whoo!)

The ^Cboys had left the ^Franches and come to ^Ctown in piles; The ^Cladies - "kinda ^Dscatterin'" - ^Ghad gathered in for miles.. The ^Croom was togged ou^Ft gorgeous - with mi^Cstletoe and shawls, And ^Ccandles flickered frescoes, ^Faround the ^Gairy walls^C. The wo^Gmen folk looked lo^Fvely - the boys looke^Cd kinda treed, Till t^Ghe lead^Dmer got to^D yellin': &^Gquot;Hey, fellers, let's stampede!" And th^Ge musi^Dmc started sighin^F', an' awailin' through^C the hall As a k^Gind of ^Dmintroduction to &qu^Fot;The ^GCowboys' Ch^Cristmas Ball."

Thei^Cr leader was a fel^Fler that came from S^Cwenson's ranch, They^C called him &q^Duot;Windy Bil^Gly," from "little Deadman's Branch." His ^Crig was "kind^Fa careless," bi^Cg spurs and high-heeled boots; He h^Cad the reputation that come ^Fwhen "^Ga fellers ^Cshoots." Hi^Ams voice was li^Emke a bugle upon a mountainous height; Hi^Fs feet were an^Dimated a^Gn' a mighty, movin' sight, When^C he commenced to h^Follerin', "Now,^C fellers stake your pen!" &quo^Ct;Lock horns with all them h^Feifers, an'^G russle 'e^Cm like men. "^GSalute yer l^Fovely critters; now^C swing an' let 'em go, "^GClimb t^Dmhe grape ^Dvine 'round^G 'em - all hands do-ce-do! "^GYou Mav^Dmericks, joi^Fn the round-up - J^Cust skip her waterfall," Huh! I^Gt was g^Dmettin' happy, The C^Fowboys'^G Christmas ^CBall

Don'^Ct tell me 'bout co^Ftillions, or Germans^C, no sir'ee! That^C whirl at Cars^Don City just ^Gtakes the cake with me. I'm ^Csick of lazy shuff^Flin's, of them I've ^Chad my fill, Just^C Give me a frontier break-do^Fwn, backed ^Gup by Wild^C Ol' Bill. McAlli^Gster ain't nowhere^F, when Windy leads the^C show, I've s^Geen 'em^Dm both in ^Dharness, an^Gd so I sorta know - Oh, Bi^Gll, I ^Dmsha'n't forget^F ya, and I'll oftenti^Cmes recall, That l^Gively g^Dmaited soiree - &quo^Ft;The C^Gowboys' Chr^Cistmas Ball."
