Version 1Slim Dusty Saddle Boy CAPO 1 G C Thru the grey frosty dawn every cold winters morn G C G D rode this lad full of life and joy G C Every day just the same down the roadway he came D G he was known as their own saddle boy G C In his youth free from strife he was called from this life G C G D from the sorrows of lifes high-way G C He was needed above at the homestead of love D G for the last final roundup some-day G C Now the sad willows wave on a cold silent grave G C G D where the tall grasses bend and bow G C And the jackasses laugh is the only epitah D G o'er the grave of this brave saddle boy. G C At the schoolhouse on the rise teacher always watched the skies G C G D for the storm clouds that rose like foam G C Youve a long way he said so youd better go ahead D G saddle up saddle boy ride for home. G C He had 10 miles to ride thru the dark countryside G C G D as the storms all around raised on G C Just one creek left to cross struck by drifwood boy and horse D G swept away by the mad raging foam G C And the lightning overhead showed the last sandy bed G C G D where the boy and the pony lay G C And old boundry rider Troy was the the one who found the boy D G and who took the saddning message home next day G C And the old people say of the long nights in May G C G D when the wind thru the valley rolls G C Founding hoofbeats resound thru the tall timberland D G its there own saddle boy riding home
