Bob Fudge Chords

Capo 2(Key: F#m)

[Verse 1]
                Em
My name is Bob Fudge
 
I was born in Texas
            Am
Lampasas County
 
Back during the war
                  Em
Small Pox and Comanches
 
Took most of my family
  Am
Left my poor mother,
        G        Em
My brothers, and me
 
 
So I headed North
 
To ride for the Blockers
                        Am
They were contractin' herds
 
On the Montana range
          Em
In the Spring of the year '82
 
We left ol' Lampasas
             Am
With two thousand steers
G                     Em
For the Little Big Horn
 
 
[Chorus]
                C
Crossing our trails
                         Am
There were many great rivers
              C
All to be crossed
                        D
Not a bridge would we find
 
[Verse 2]
                      Em
In the cold rolling waters
 
And the wild plunging cattle
                    Am
There was many a young man
    G                Em
Took leave of his life
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C G Am Am G C     Em
 
[Verse 3]
 
Well we crossed at Doan's Store
 
Into the Indian nation
                        Am
Saw the blood on the rocks
 
Where those cowboys had died
                    Em
Then it's on Fort Dodge
 
On the Arkansas River
          Am
Where gamblers and the whores
  G               Em
All welcomed us there
 
 
[Chorus]
                           C
And the great snowcapped peaks
                      Am
Are on our left side now
            C
For many miles
                      D
In the great silent land
 
 
[Verse 4]
                     Em
When I first saw Montana
 
I knew I would love her
                           Am
I would ride her great ranges
           G          Em
'Til the end of my days
 
[Chorus]
 
C G Am G C     Em
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
But she's all cut-and-dry now
 
And the trails are all gone
                           Am
I've been to Yellowstone Park
 
In an automobile
                             Em
But I can still see 'em swimming
 
Boys, I can still hear 'em running
                      Am
I came off of the trails
 
When cowboys was king
 
                 Em
My name is Bob Fudge
 
I died in Montana
