C G C
He rode up on a winter day
C G C
Steam risin’ off a streak face bay
F C F
Said you probably know my name
C G C
If you don’t it’s Arkansas Dave
C G C
He talked of fifteen years ago
C G C
And how he got the bay he rode
F C F
Said he killed a man in Ohio
C G C
First man he killed first horse he stole
F C F
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
C G C
He shot and left him where he laid
F C F
He said he’d never forget that winter day
C G F
He rode off on a streak faced bay
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/george-strait/301067.html ]
C G C
I stood up and I shook his hand
C G C
Told no one that I knew this man
F C F
Started makin’ up a plan
C G C
Bout how I’d deal him his last hand
C G C
Didn’t take him long to come unwound
C G C
He jumped up and gunned two men down
F C F
Ran outside to leave the town
C G C
But ole’ bay was nowhere to be found
Key Shift: D
D A D
I head out with my forty four
D A D
And when he walked back through the door
G D G
I shot till I could shoot no more
D A D
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor
G D G
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
D A D
I shot and left him where he laid
G D G
I’ll never forget that winter day
D A D
I rode off on a streak faced bay
G D G
No I’ll never forget that winter day
D A D
When I rode home on Daddy’s streak face bay
*p = pull off
h = hammer on
**First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George,
so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor
changes in chord locations.
Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks!
***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it
at 0:56 seconds. Listen close, it is pretty STRAIT forward.
