C                    F  C            F                C
In the shadow of the saddle, running wild and running free
     C               F  C               F               C
In a herd of running mustangs there's a part of you and me
       C                                 F                 D7
Broken spirit, broken promises made them fear the sight of man
       C             F  C             F          G      C
In the shadow of the saddle lives the wild horse bronco band


Chorus:
         D#              C
Call 'em cayuse call 'em broncos
            D#    F        G
Call 'em mustangs call 'em free
       C             F  C 
In the shadow of the saddle
        F        G       C
Let 'em run boys let 'em be

We have changed the land and water just to fit our selfish needs
Now the shadow of the saddle falls across these gallant steeds
Oh the Spanish and the Indians gave them freedom in the sun
In the name of God and Nature, let 'em run, boys, let 'em run

Chorus
