I read it in the paper just about a week ago

It was on the back page and not many people know

Boy it made me feel bad when I picked it up and read
D G D
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
G D
Oh we rode the dusty trails together
G B7 E7 A
At the Saturday morning picture show
G D G
The dusty trails are gone now but it hurts to hear it said
D G D
Pinto the wonder horse is dead
My memory goes back to when I was a little kid
We believed in everything that Pinto ever did
Will our kids have a hero half as brave or half as strong
C F C
Pinto the wonder horse is gone
Repeat #2

We believed that Pinto was the fastest horse alive

If he outran the wind itself we never were surprised

In my childhood memory full of boys grow into men
C F C
Pinto the wonder rides again
Repeat #2

Pinto the wonder horse is dead
