VERSE 1: 
C 
Indian summer..Abilene,  
C 
You were new in town I was nineteen   
               G 
and the sparks flew  
C 
They called us crazy behind our backs  
C 
"Romantic fools" We just let them laugh  
G                   
Because we knew,  
            Bm   Em 
It may be a long shot 
           C              G 
We may be lonely down the line  
                  Bm  Em 
But love knows no reason  
Am          Bm               C  D6 
And I won't let them make up my mind  
 
CHORUS: 
Em         D              C           G 
My love is riding on this dark horse, baby  
C                           Em    D 
My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one  
Em            C                           G 
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday  
      C   G     C        D          C    G  
If we let this, Let this dark horse run  
 
VERSE 2: 
C 
Stars are brighter in a desert sky  
C 
No need to wonder or justify  
G 
Where this will lead  
C 
I wear your locket our picture's inside 
C 
Inscription says, "The joy's in the ride"  
G 
And I believe  
             Bm  Em 
Something so sacred  
             C                  G 
Is something worth this kind of fight  
                    Bm  Em 
Cause love knows no patience  
Am                      Bm       C       D6 
You can't please everyone all the time  
 
CHORUS: 
Em         D              C           G 
My love is riding on this dark horse, baby

My heart is sayin' it's the lucky one  
Em            C                           G 
And it's true color's gonna shine through someday  
      C   G     C        D          C     
If we let this, Let this dark horse run
