[Intro:  ]G   F   C   G   G   D   C 
 
G                      D 
They packed up all his buckles, 
                Em            C 
And shipped his saddle to his dad. 
G                        Em 
And by the way the house looked,  
    A                 D 
She must have took it bad. 
G           C       G 
The workers come on Monday,  
                              C 
To fix the door and patch the wall. 
     G                 D 
They say she just went crazy, 
    Em        D       C 
The night she got the call. 
 
G                   D 
Well he was up in Wyoming,  
           Em                C 
And drew a bull no man could ride. 
G                    Em 
He promised her he'd turn out, 
        A                  D 
Well it turned out that he lied. 
              G              C        G 
And all their dreams that they'd been livin, 
                  C 
In the California sand. 
Em                 D               C 
Died there right beside him in Cheyenne. 
 
Chorus 
C                         G 
They say she just went crazy, 
D                    G 
Screamin out his name. 
        C             G 
She ran out into the ocean, 
    Em          D     C 
And to this day they claim. 
            G              F 
That if you go down by the water, 
                C                 G 
You'll see her footprints in the sand. 
                                  D            C 
Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne. 
 
 
Same chords as 2nd verse 
 
They never found her body, just her diary by the bed. 
It told about the fight they had, 
And the words that she had said. 
When he told her he was ridin, 
She said then I don't give a damn. 
If you never come back to Cheyenne. 
 
Sing Chorus 
 
C            G         D                         G 
Nobody can explain it, Some say she's still alive. 
C                       G 
They even claim they've seen her, 
       Em             D  C 
On the shoreline late at night. 
          G              F 
So if you go down by the water, 
               C                 G 
You'll see her footprints in the sand. 
                                D              C 
Cause every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne. 
          G                   D              C 
Yes every night she walks the beaches of Cheyenne.
