Heart Of The Appaloosa Tab par Fred Small

G                D
From the land of shooting waters
       C            G
To the peaks of the Coeur d'Alene
       D
Thimbleberries in the forest
     C             D
Elk grazing on the plain
    C               D
The people of the coyote 
           G               Em
made their camps along the streams
        C            D
of the green Wallowa Valley
     C      D      G
when fences had no name

         D                C
And they bred a strain of horses 
    D               G
the treasure of the tribe
           D
who could toe-dance on a ridge 
          C            D
or gallop up a mountainside
          G               D
who could haul a hunter's burden
       C           G
turn a buffalo stampede
     C                  D
the horse that wore the spotted coat 
     C         D        G
was born with matchless speed

# [Chorus]
Am                     G
Thunder rolling in the mountains
Am                               D  Am D Am
lead the people across the great divide
        G            D
there's blood on the snow 
       C        G
in the hills of Idaho
        C                 D          G
but the heart of the appaloosa never died
