Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 In  the Arizona sunlight
 In  the Colorado moonlight
 When  she gets there it's gonna feel  alright
 Now  she's feeling so tired
 She  got her big  bay horse
 The  one she calls the Rolling  Sun
 The  hard running faithful  one
 Out  in front of all the  rest
 She's  a barrel racing angel
 Out  there somewhere in the west
 Well  I wish you could've seen  them
 At  the short go in Cheyenne
 Old  Sunny's rolling like a thunderstorm
 Fast  as lightning on the plain
 Now  they're tired  and sore
 But  they gotta go  some more
 On  the road to Las Vegas
 There  is no place to rest
 She's  a barrel racing angel
 Out  there somewhere in the west
 Cowgirls  are special when they follow their dreams
 Every  race is a brand new start
 Some  are running  for the sake of running
 Some  are running from a broken heart
 Just  one thing you gotta know
 You  can't hold her, you gotta let  her go
 You  can't catch a silhouette
 She's  like ice, she's like fire
 They're  gonna fly  as one
 She  and Rolling  Sun
 Out  among the stars
 Ahead  of all the  rest
 She's  a barrel racing angel
 Out  there somewhere in the west
 She's  a barrel racing angel
 Out  there somewhere in the west
