Janie Fricke – Saddle The Wind chords

[Intro]
A   E     A

[Verse]
A                          E                AIn a dusty little Mexican town down on the border
                    E                       ANever expecting my heart to cross over the line
    D                                                  AHe rode into the square like he lived as wild as his stallion
         E                                   AAnd his warm dark eyes burned down down into mine

A                            E                 ASomewhere under the stars a lonely guitar was playing
                            E       AIt was the closest I'd come to paradise
         D                                      AAnd the world stood still for us there in the shadows
           E                                 AUntil he whispered to me   the words of goodbye

[Chorus]
D                                      A  On Diablo he circled the mission of life
      E                               AThen rode like a bandit stealing the night
D                                              A  Dawn was breaking and I ached to touch him again
                              E                         ABut I knew that to have him I might as well saddle the wind

[Verse]
A                               E                AThe wind blows cold through my soul back home in Austin
                          E                   AOff in the distance somewhere a mission bell rings
D                                              AFilling my mind with thoughts of that Mexican rider
   E                               ATonight I'll have him only in my dreams

[Chorus]
D                                      A  On Diablo he circled the mission of life
      E                               AThen rode like a bandit stealing the night
D                                              A  Dawn was breaking and I ached to touch him again
        E                                               ABut I knew that to have him I might as well saddle the wind
