G C
Somewhere out on the prairie
D
Is the greatest cowboy that's ever been
G G7 C C1 C2 C3
And when he lays his hands upon the ponies
D G D G
They shudder with an understanding skin
And he says ponies
G7 C C1 C2 C3
Now ponies don't you worry
D G
I have not come to steal your fire away
G7 C C1 C2 C3
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
D G
Discover what begins each shining day
G7
When the storm clouds in the west
C C1 C2 C3
Are quickly gathering
D
The ponies they run wild there
G
Before it rains
G7 C C1 C2 C3
You'll see their sleek dark bodies brightly gleaming
D G D G
You know the fire is flying through their brains
And he says ponies
G7 C C1 C2 C3
Now ponies don't you worry
D G
I have not come to steal your fire away
G7 C C1 C2 C3
I want to fly with you across the sunrise
D G
Discover what begins each shining day
