Stone Blind Horses
VERSE
There are some saints that have been forgotten [A]
Like most of my drunken prayers. [B]
They say there’s a heaven somewhere above the yonder [C]
Where there’s no more crosses to bear. [B]
VERSE
Now there’s ghosts along the highways, [D]
And there’s storms out on the seas. [E]
My only hope is somewhere in that heaven [F]
Some one is saying a prayer for me. [E]
CHORUS
I been ridin’ stone blind horses, [A]
Never seeing a reason to believe. [E]
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me: [E]
The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves. [E]
VERSE
The high slurred whistle of a red wing blackbird [G]
Sounds like he’s singing oh that I might die. [H]
It’s a song for those who have fallen, [F]
Unrepentant with no more alibis. [H]
CHORUS
I been ridin’ stone blind horses, [A]
Never seeing a reason to believe. [E]
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me: [E]
The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves. [E]
Hey sweet Genevieve say a prayer for me: [E]
The wild young cowboys, old drunks, paramours and thieves. [E]
