INTRO:  G   F   C   G   G   D   C

G                       D
They packed up all his buckles
                 Em           C
And shipped his saddle to his dad
G                    Em
And by the way the house looked
     Am               D
She must have took it bad
G
The workers come on Monday
                               C
To fix the door and patch the wall
     G                 D
They say she just went crazy
     Em               C
The night she got the call

G              D
He was up in Wyoming
           Em                C
And drew a bull no man could ride
G                     Em
He promised her he'd turn out
        Am                 D
Well it turned out that he lied
            G
And all the dreams that they'd been livin'
                   C
In the california sand
Em                 D
Died right there beside him
      C
In Cheyenne

CHORUS:
C                        G
They say she just went crazy
D                  G
Screamin' out his name
         C           G
She ran out into the ocean
    Em               C
And to this day they claim
            G              F
That if you go down by the water
               C                  G
You'll see her footprints in the sand

'Cause every night she walks
    D             C
the beaches of Cheyenne

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:  REPEAT INTRO (G F C G G D C)

G                     D
They never found her body
         Em           C
Just her diary by the bed
G                   Em
It told about the fight they had
         Am                D
And the words that she had said
        G
When he told her he was ridin'
                              C
She said then I don't give a damn
       Em         D            C
If you never come back from Cheyenne

REPEAT CHORUS

C               G
Nobody can explain it
D                      G
Some say she's still alive
C                          G
They'd even claim they've seen her
       Em                C
On the shoreline late at night
          G              F
So if you go down by the water
               C                  G
You'll see her footprints in the sand

'Cause every night she walks
    D             C
the beaches of Cheyenne

             G
'Cause every night she walks
    D             C
the beaches of Cheyenne
