[Verse]
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
Met her on a harvest moon, once upon a time in the mid-
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
west
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
She told me as we stole away, that she was freer than all the
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
rest

[Pre-chorus]
G# D# F# C#
With her hair cut like a farmboy and her cards so close to her breast
G# D# F# C# Bb
Just how much harm she could do me... No, I never would have guessed

[Chorus]
F Bb F Bb
Don't go chasing wild ponies; they're half crazy and they run
F D# Bb Bbsus2 Bb
Don't go lovin' short haired women, they're gonna leave you cryin'
D# F
after thinking it was all in fun

[Verse]
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
We came upon a boomer shack; she broke the windows just
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
because
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
Later along the railroad track, she laid me down-- that's how she
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
was

[Pre-chorus]
G# D# F# C#
With the first rush of the freight train, there was rain on the high summer corn
G# D# F# C# Bb
"Oh, it's just a game," she told me; I said, "No, I am reborn"

[Chorus]
F Bb F Bb
Don't go chasing wild ponies; they're half crazy when they run
F D# Bb Bbsus2 Bb
Don't go lovin' short haired women, they're gonna leave you cryin'
D# F
after thinking it was all in fun

[Interlude]
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
hmm- mmm, all in
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
fun
Fm G# Bb Bbm C5
