[Verse 1]

A
We had a taste on the wild frontier
                  D
And the Ponderosa trail
        E
Where a thousand lights light up the night
       D               A
Like a giant Christmas tree
          A
Where the gasoline leaks reach to the skies
        D
And the smoky chimney mountains
      D               A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone

      D               A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone


[Chorus]

D                   A
Breathing steel and stone
D         E         F#m  E
Breathing steel and stone
      D               A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone

[Verse 2]
          A
Where the cowboys don't ride horses
          D
Round the misty crystal fountain
    E
And all the chiefs and Indians
        D                    A
Smoking peace pipes in their chairs
     A
In a ghost town by a river
       D
I have kids stuck at home
       D              A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone

      D               A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone

Breathing steel and stone
Bm                  F#m   E
Breathing steel and stone

Black water give them gold and silver

Now they're breathing steel and stone

Breathing steel and stone

Breathing steel and stone
      D               A
Black water give them gold and silver
            D         E         A
Now they're breathing steel and stone
