(verse 1) 
           A             A7         D         A 
There was blood on the saddle and blood all around 
                            E            A 
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground 
 
 
(verse 2) 
    A     A7             D           A 
A cowboy lay in it all covered with gore 
                              E        A 
And he never will ride any broncos no more 
 
 
 
(lead chords - A - A7 - D - A  - E - A 
 
 
(verse 3) 
     A         A7          D         A 
Oh, pity the cowboy, all bloody and red  
                                 E            A  
For the bronco fell on him and bashed in his head 
 
 
(verse 4) 
           A             A7         D         A 
There was blood on the saddle and blood all around 
                            E            A 
And a great big puddle of blood on the ground

A good old cowboy classic, the second song I learned  
on guitar. It's really easy and a good one to start 
a young boy on.
