Introduction:
Am G F E
Wild as a coastal barranca, swift as the wind blowin?ree
Am G
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night
F E
Somewhere up there he?waitin?or me
Am G F E
And he knows that I?comin?or him, And I just can?rest ?il I find
Am G
That raven black stallion that wears no man?brand
F E
with a wild restless spirit like mine
Chorus
Am G Am
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say
Am G F G Am
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre
Am G F E
Two men before tried to take him, they had their chance one by one
Am G
But each met his fate when those flashin?lack hooves
F E
brought death ?eath the Mexican sun
Am G F E
Still I can?leave, I must find him, You fool of a horse can?you
see?
F E
I may be half man, but the other half?devil, And you? just exactly
like me
Am G F E
Even the breeze has stopped movin?ll hush now, be still,
Am G
Don?make a sound stay close to the ground
F E
?uz he?waitin?ust over that hill
Am G F E
Down wind behind him move quickly, do it fast now, he?startin?o stir
Am G
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back,
F E
And start rakin?im down with my spurs
Am G F E
But try as he will he can?shake me as over the precipice we go
Am G F E
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below
Chorus
