Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]There's something strange
in [Em]the old c[Am]orral
There's a breeze,
[D]though the wind has [G]died
[Em]Though I'm alone in [Am]the
[D]old corral
Seems there is someone [G]at my side

[Verse 2]
Empty [G]saddles in the [C]old corral
[G]Where do [D]you [A]ride to[D]night?
Are you [G]roundin' up the dogies,
[C]the strays of long [Cm]ago
Are [G]you on the [D]trail of buffalo?
[G]

[Verse 3]
Empty saddles in the [C]old corral
[G]Where do you rid[A]e tonig[D]ht?
Are there [G]rustlers on the border,
[C]or a band of [Am]Navajo
[Adim]Are you [Cm]headin'[G]
for [D]the Alam[G]o?

[Verse 4]
[Em]
Empty guns [Cm]covered with rust
Where do you talk to[Gm]night?
[Eb]Empty boots covered with dust
[Cm]Where [Adim]do you walk
[Am]to n[D]ight?

[Verse 5]
[G]
Empty saddles in the [Cm]old c[C]orral
My [G]tears will [D]be [A]dried to[D]night
If [G]you'll only say I'm lonely as
you [C]carry [Am]my old p[Adim]al
[Cm]Empty sadd[G]les in t[D]he old corral[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]There [Cm]is no smoke,
still [Gm]the [Eb]fires burn,
There's [Cm]no s[Adim]ong,
still [Am]I[D][G][C][G]
[A]hea[D]r g[G]uitar[D]s,[G][D]
There [Am]is n[A]o du[Cm]st, [G]still
the [D]ghosts [G]return
[Em]Softly to[Am][D]
[G]vanish through [D]the[G] bars
