Barrel Racing Angel
===================

C              Am
In the Arizona sunlight
Am              C
In the Colorado moonlight
C                              Am
When she gets there it's gonna feel alright
Am                  C
Now she's feeling so tired
C           Em
She got her big bay horse
Em                    C
The one she calls the Rolling Sun
C                Am
The hard running faithful one
Am                 D
Out in front of all the rest
D                     C
She's a barrel racing angel
C                          C
Out there somewhere in the west

C                        Am
Well I wish you could've seen them
Am                     C
At the short go in Cheyenne
C                          Am
Old Sunny's rolling like a thunderstorm
Am                       C
Fast as lightning on the plain
C           Em
Now they're tired and sore
Em             C
But they gotta go some more
C                  Am
On the road to Las Vegas
Am                  D
There is no place to rest
D                     C
She's a barrel racing angel
C                          C   C   C
Out there somewhere in the west


Bridge:
C
Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams
C                         C
Every race is a brand new start
C        C
Some are running for the sake of running
C                              C
Some are running from a broken heart

C                        Am
Just one thing you gotta know
Am                            C
You can't hold her, you gotta let her go
C                      Am
You can't catch a silhouette
Am                         C
She's like ice, she's like fire
C             Em
They're gonna fly as one
Em      C
She and Rolling Sun
C             Am
Out among the stars
Am           D
Ahead of all the rest
D                     C
She's a barrel racing angel
C                          C    C
Out there somewhere in the west
C                     C
She's a barrel racing angel
C                          C
Out there somewhere in the west
