Thunder a rollinā through the air

Dm Bb Dm
This herd might stampede tonight
Verse 2.

Clouds are drivinā cross the moonless sky
Cattle a rollinā frightened eyes
C Bb Am

Dm Bb Dm
That this herd wonāt stampede tonight
Bridge:
Bb Dm
Thereās lightning thereās thunder
Am A Dm
Thereās wind and rain, stampede!
Verse 3.
Ten thousand cattle on the run
Pray for an early morning sun
Lightning stabs the skies
Cattle drop and never rise, stampede!
Verse 4.
Ten thousand cattle in flight
The devilās ridinā herd tonight
The thunder of the hooves and the fury from the skies
Donāt get out in front or every man dies
Repeat Bridge
Verse 5. (Spoken)
Cold black clouds like funeral shrouds
Roll down their icy threat
And we face to fight this raging night
With odds on the side death
Verse 6. (Spoken)
For a stampeding herd
When itās panic is stirred
Is a thing for a cowboy to shun
For no mortal man ever holds command
When the cattle are on the run
(sung) Stampede!
Verse 7.
The rising of the wind sends out its wail
Drivinā cattle down an endless trail
Rollinā thunder booms sending cattle to their doom
Stampede!
Repeat Bridge
Stampede!
