My Rifle, My Pony And Me (Rio Bravo)

Intro:
(nc)
The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in her nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Verse 1:
       C            F
Purple light in the canyons
             C         F
That's where I long to be
        C          F
With my three good companions
        C      Am       F
Just my rifle, pony and me

Verse 2:
      C           F
Gonna hang my som-brero
       C         F
On the limb of a tree
       C                F
Comin' home, sweetheart darlin'
        C      F      C
Just my rifle, pony and me

Verse 3:
        C           F
Whippoorwill in the willow
        C         F
Sings a sweet melody
       C      F
Ridin' to Ama-rillo
        C      Am       F
Just my rifle, pony and me

Verse 4:
        C          F
No more cows to be ropin'
        C             F
No more strays will I see
          C              F
Round the bend she'll be waitin'
        C      F      C
For my rifle, pony and me

Outro:
        C        F      C
For my rifle, my pony and me
