Capo 4th Fret 
 

A5                   G5      F5                         E5 
Wild as a coastal barranca, swift as the wind blowin?ree 
     A5                             G5 
With two eyes like fire brands that glow in the night 
          F5                         E5 
Somewhere up there he?waitin?or me 
    A5                       G5             F5                       E5 
And he knows that I?comin?or him , And I just can?rest ?il I find 
     A5                        G5 
That raven black stallion that wears no man?brand 
       F5                         E5 
with a wild restless spirit like mine 
 
Chorus 
A5                      G5                                A5 
They call him Caballo Diablo, half horse half devil they say 
A5                  G5           F5         G5       A5 
Caballo Diablo, the outlaw up a top the Sierra Madre 
 

A5                      G5         F5                            E5 
Two men before tried to take him , they had their chance one by one 
    A5                            G5 
But each met his fate when those flashin?lack hooves 
        F5                        E5 
brought death ?eath the Mexican sun 
A5                          G5              F5                         E5 
Still I can?leave, I must find him ,  You fool of a horse can?you see? 
  A5                        G5 

F5                        E5 
I may be half man, but the other half?devil, And you? just exactly 
like me 
 

Chorus 
 

A5                          G5          F5             E5 
Even the breeze has stopped movin?ll hush now, be still, 
A5                       G5 
Don?make a sound stay close to the ground 
           F5                     E5 
?uz he?waitin?ust over that hill 
A5                         G5             F5                          E5 
Down wind behind him move quickly, do it fast now, he?startin?o stir 
 

       A5                    G5 
Grab a handful of mane, then up on to his back, 
    F5                              E5 
And start rakin?im down with my spurs 
    A5                       G5           F5                    E5 
But try as he will he can?shake me as over the precipice we go 
   A5                       G5                      F5              E5 
To shed the life blood of a horse and a man on the rocky sierra below
