Em D
Slidin' down the canyon on the Black Baldy Stallion

Through the rocks and the ridges of the cold dark night
Em D
Shinin' like a diamond from the belt of Orion
Am C
Is it your imagination, is the end in sight?
Em D
From the top of the mountain to the edge of the water
A C Em
You can hear her singin' softly so you spring to the order
D A
Of the song she was singin' the first time you saw her
C G
The years melt away as you ride toward the border.

Such a long, long way to ride

Just to hear her say your name

When you reach the other side

You won't leave her again.
Em D
It's a resonating wonder how you've never knuckled under
Am Em C
To the Elders of the village on that early Easter mornin'

Cause you never broke your promises and bonding her is all

Ridin' through the river in the fiery dawnin'.

When you reach the other side

You won't leave her again.

Sittin' in the cafe on the corner of the plaza

She's openin' the letter you could not deliver

As the Black Baldy Stallion riderlessly passes

Gleamin' in the sun drippin' water from the river

Such a long, long way to ride

Just to hear her say your name

When you reach the other side

You won't leave her again.
