Ian Tyson (born September 25, 1933) is a cowboy folk singer from Alberta, Canada who was born in Victoria, British Columbia.
He and his then-wife Sylvia Fricker constituted one of the most popular folk duos of the 1960s, Ian & Sylvia. Tyson gradually shifted to the cowboy way while still with Sylvia, accentuating the western life through song. Residing on a ranch in southern Alberta, Tyson tours all over the west.

Barrel Racing Angel =================== by: Ian Tyson written by: Ian Tyson - Slick Fork Music
DEm In the Arizona sunlight EmD In the Colorado moonlight DEm When she gets there it's gonna feel alright EmD Now she's feeling so tired DBm She got her big bay horse BmG The one she calls the Rolling Sun GEm The hard running faithful one EmA Out in front of all the rest AD She's a barrel racing angel GD Out there somewhere in the west
DEm Well I wish you could've seen them EmD At the short go in Cheyenne DEm Old Sunny's rolling like a thunderstorm EmD Fast as lightning on the plain DBm Now they're tired and sore BmG But they gotta go some more GEm On the road to Las Vegas EmA There is no place to rest AD She's a barrel racing angel GDGD Out there somewhere in the west
Bridge: G Cowgirls are special when they follow their dreams GD Every race is a brand new start DG Some are running for the sake of running GD Some are running from a broken heart
DEm Just one thing you gotta know EmD You can't hold her, you gotta let her go DEm You can't catch a silhouette EmD She's like ice, she's like fire DBm They're gonna fly as one BmG She and Rolling Sun GEm Out among the stars EmA Ahead of all the rest AD She's a barrel racing angel GDG Out there somewhere in the west GD She's a barrel racing angel GD Out there somewhere in the west
