[ Предположительная тональность: C ] [Intro] C [Verse 1] C On my way out to the gold mines, crossing the western hills Am Me and my little dog Clyde and a horse named Prancing Bill F I slept under the stars, I heard the coyotes sing C G C And the sun was a golden coin shining just for me F C The sun shone just for me [Verse 2] C But high up in the mountains, Bill began to foam Am And as I whipped and tugged him, he bucked against his load F Around a hairpin turn, the wagon tumbled o'er C G C And down the jagged rocks, Bill fell with all I owned F C He fell with all I owned [Verse 3] C As the sun died out, coyotes began to howl Am Little Clyde's head rose and answered with a growl F But when I bent to call him, he snapped at me and ran C G C And then I was alone in the silent rocks and sand F C The silent rocks and sand [Verse 4] C By my fifth day of walking, I was crawling on my knees Am Eating handfuls of dust from between the dying weeds F I laid down in the dirt as the sun lost her glow C G C But I was welcomed in the dark by the song of a hundred toads F C The song of a hundred toads [Outro] F C The song of a hundred toads F C The song of a hundred toads F C The song of a hundred toads
