[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]

[Verse 1]
A [D]red headed stranger
from Blue Rock Montana
rode into town one [A]day
And [D]under his knees
was a [G]raging black [D]stallion
and [E]walkin' behind was a [A]bay
The [D]red headed stranger
had eyes like the thunder
And his lips they were sad and [A]tight
His [D]little lost love lay a[G]sleep on the [D]hillside
and his [A]heart was heavy as [D]night

[Chorus 1]
Don't [G]cross him don't boss him
He's [D]wild in his sorrow
He's ridin' and hidin' his [A]pain
Don't [G]fight him don't spite him
Just [D]wait till tomorrow
[A]Maybe he'll ride on a[D]gain[D]
[D][D]

[Verse 2]
A [D]yellow haired lady leaned out of her window
and watched as he passed her [A]way
She [D]drew back in fear
at the [G]sight of the stal[D]lion,
but [E]cast greedy eyes on the [A]bay
But [D]how could she know
that this dancing bay pony
meant more to him than [A]life
For [D]this was the horse that his [G]little lost [D]darlin'
had [A]ridden when she was his [D]wife

[Chorus 2]
Don't [G]cross him don't boss him
He's [D]wild in his sorrow
He's [D]ridin' and hidin' his [A]pain
Don't [G]fight him don't spite him
Just [D]wait till tomorrow
[A]Maybe he'll ride on a[D]gain[D]
[D][D]

[Verse 3]
The [D]yellow haired lady
came down to the tavern
and looked up the stranger [A]there
He [D]bought her a drink
and [G]gave her some mon[D]ey
he [E]just didn't seem to [A]care
She [D]followed him out
as he saddled his stallion
and laughed as she grabbed at the [A]bay
He [D]shot her so quick
they had [G]no time to [D]warn her
she [A]never heard anyone [D]say

[Chorus 3]
Don't [G]cross him don't boss him
He's [D]wild in his sorrow
He's [D]ridin' and hidin' his [A]pain
Don't [G]fight him don't spite him
Just [D]wait till tomorrow
[A]Maybe he'll ride on a[D]gain[D]
[D][D]

[Verse 4]
The [D]yellow haired lady
was buried at sunset
the stranger went free of [A]course
For you [D]can't hang a man
[G]for killin' a wo-[D] man
[E]who's tryin' to steal your hor[A]se
[D]This is the tale
of the red headed stranger
and if he should pass your [A]way
[D]Stay out of the path
of the [G]raging black [D]stallion
and [A]don't lay a hand on the [D]bay

[Chorus 4]
Don't [G]cross him don't boss him
He's [D]wild in his sorrow
He's ridin' and hidin' his [A]pain
Don't [G]fight him don't spite him
Just [D]wait till tomorrow
[A]Maybe he'll ride on a[D]gain[D]
