BLOOD ON THE SADDLE chromatic
Trad. American folk song

Key: G

  3   -4   -5   6  -5  -4   3
There was blood on the sad-dle 
 7    7   6   7    -5 
and blood on the ground
-4 -3   3    3   3  -4
And a great big pud-dle 
-4  -3   -4  -3  3
of blood all a-round  

A cowboy lay in it 
all covered with gore
And he never will ride 
any broncos no more

Oh, pity the cowboy, 
all bloody and red
For the bronco fell on him 
and bashed in his head

There was blood on the sad-dle 
and blood all a-round
And a great big pud-dle 
of blood on the ground
