The Song Of 100 Toads

C

C
On my way out to the gold mines, crossing the western hills
                                             Am
Me and my little dog Clyde and a horse named Prancing Bill
    F
I slept under the stars, I heard the coyotes sing
        C                  G                  C
And the sun was a golden coin shining just for me
    F                  C
The sun shone just for me

C
But high up in the mountains, Bill began to foam
                                                       Am
And as I whipped and tugged him, he bucked against his load
 F
Around a hairpin turn, the wagon tumbled o'er
    C                           G               C
And down the jagged rocks, Bill fell with all I owned
   F               C
He fell with all I owned

C
As the sun died out, coyotes began to howl
                                             Am
Little Clyde's head rose and answered with a growl
    F
But when I bent to call him, he snapped at me and ran
    C                       G                C
And then I was alone in the silent rocks and sand
    F                C
The silent rocks and sand

C
By my fifth day of walking, I was crawling on my knees
                                               Am
Eating handfuls of dust from between the dying weeds
  F
I laid down in the dirt as the sun lost her glow
   C                                  G                 C
But I was welcomed in the dark by the song of a hundred toads
    F                 C
The song of a hundred toads

    F                 C
The song of a hundred toads
    F                 C
The song of a hundred toads
    F                 C
The song of a hundred toads
