************** SIX WHITE HORSES ***************
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
Come here and look through the window Marie 
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see 
Was that his knock that i heard at the door 
Or is it six white horses coming down the road 
Verse 2:
Come here and touch me and say that it's alright 
You know that to my eyes the days are as the nights 
Read again the letter that tells me where he's gone 
To hell with the fighting i want my son home 
Verse 3:
I taught him to fish and i taught him to be strong 
I taught him that killing any man was wrong 
But tommorrow in battle i'd run to where he stood 
If the help of a blind man would do any good 
Break (F#).
Verse 4:(a tone higher)
Last night i went to his room for awhile 
I've touched all the things that he used as a child 
I rocked the cradle where he used to lay 
I found his tin soldiers and threw them away 
Verse 5:(idem)
Come here and look through the window Marie 
Open up the shutters,tell me what you see 
Was that his knock that i heard at the door 
Or is it six white horses coming up the road 
You can play G#m (and the others same way): ||||||
