Number 37 by James Keelaghan
Number 37
INTRO: G D G C G D C
G
She wore number 37, her horse was chestnut brown
C D
I saw her at a rodeo in a high plains western town
G
Underneath the turquoise sky a thunderstorm was rolling in
C D
The infield getting sticky, the crowd was wearing thin
Em G
Now, I love the barrel racing, cannot say I don't
C D
To see some woman ride flat out, as she rounds a turn for home
Em G
And riding hell-for-leather, the bit between her teeth
C D
It's poetry in motion.
G
She wore the number 37, she was the seventh one to ride
C D
She showed no hint of nerves and she sat her horse with pride
G
Horse and rider leapt together, I wished that I could hear
C D
The words she spoke to spur him on as she leaned down to his ear
Em G
They rounded the first barrel, from the bleachers I could see
C D
She didn't use a riding crop, for the horse ran like a breeze
Em G
'Round barrel two high-stepping, she closed the figure eight
C D
Then up for barrel three, yeah she was liquid, yeah
INTERLUDE:
D G C G D C
Heyyyy hey hey hey hey hey I hey I hey I heyyy
G
Though she didn't use a riding crop, she barely used her spurs
C D
She was hands and knees, she was gentle, loving words.
G
I'd like to say she won that day, that wouldn't be the fact.
C D
She crossed the line in '69 in the middle of the pack
Em G
You'd never know she'd lost, she grinned from ear to ear
C D
She stroked the charger's neck and once more whispered in his ear
Em G
She was happy that they'd done that well, nobody got hurt
C D G D G
She got all the speed she wanted using gentle loving words
INTERLUDE:
C G D C G
Heyyyy hey hey hey I hey I hey I heyyy
D G C
Heyyyy I hey I hey I heyyy
G D C
Heyy I hey I hey I heyyy
G
So hats off to sweet 37, wherever you may be
C D
The pleasure's not from winning, it's in riding wild and free
G
And one thing that I learned that day, you can whip and you can curse
C D G
But you'll get as good a ride if you use gentle loving words.
