VERSE:
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
Met her on a harvest moon, once upon a time in the mid-
Fm C5m
west
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
She told me as we stole away, that she was freer than all the
Fm GBBC5
rest
PRECHORUS:
G# D# F# C#
With her hair cut like a farmboy and her cards so close to her breast
G# D# F# C# Bb
Just how much harm she could do me... No, I never would have guessed
CHORUS:
F Bb F Bb
Don't go chasing wild ponies; they're half crazy and they run
F D# Bb Bbsus2
Don't go lovin' short haired women, they're gonna leave you cryin'
D# F
after thinking it was all in fun
VERSE:
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
We came upon a boomer shack; she broke the windows just
Fm C5m
because
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
Later along the railroad track, she laid me down-- that's how she
Fm GBBC5
was
PRECHORUS:
G# D# F# C#
With the first rush of the freight train, there was rain on the high summer corn
G# D# F# C# Bb
"Oh, it's just a game," she told me; I said, "No, I am reborn"
CHORUS:
F Bb F Bb
Don't go chasing wild ponies; they're half crazy when they run
F D# Bb Bbsus2
Don't go lovin' short haired women, they're gonna leave you cryin'
D# F
after thinking it was all in fun

VERSE 3:
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
