Thread Name: western songs for women?
Subject: RE: western songs for women?/Chords to Sarah Hogan
Here are the chords for Sarah Hogan, with thanks to Mr. John Lowell who wrote the song and so kindly sent them to me. Its a wonderful song:

                                    
Near the (C)pine covered hills of South Da(F)kota
                                          
When the (G)evening stars are (F)shining cold and (G)clear
                                          
And the (C)drovers tell their stories round the (F)campfire
                              
The (G)tale of Sarah (F)Hogan you will (C)hear.


Sarah was the sweetest flower of the prairie
With flowing hair and blue eyes flecked with gey
Her smile could turn the sunshine into shadow
And the cowboys that came courting her would say

Chorus:
                                       
Won't you (Am)meet me in the (F)moonlight Sarah (C)Hogan
                                 
We can (Am)ride out in the (F)hills my Sarah (G)dear
                                                
Hear the (Am)prairie wolf a-(F)crying, he (C)sings a mournful (Am)song
                                 
But (F)I will not be (G)lonesome with you (C)here.

Verse 2

Billy Caldwell was a bold and reckless cowboy
He vied for Sarah's heart and not in vain
But her father could not stand the charming rounder
And forbage them both to ever meet again

Then Billy fell in with some bad men from Wyoming
When they robbed the Tilford Bank two men were killed
Sarah did not know her lover was an outlaw
On the night she went to meet him in the hills. (Chorus)

Verse 3

In the quiet shadows waiting for the outlaws
Were some vigilanes shrouded by the night
Sarah's father raised a rifle to his sholder
As a mounted robber rode into his sights

And when the gunshot tore the silence just like thunder
The bullet knocked the rider to the ground
But when the men ran out to fetch the fallen outlaw
                                    
It was (G)Sarah's lifeless (F)body that they (Am)found.

Chorus
                                 
end: (F)I'll be all a(G)lone without you (C)here.
