How Green Was The Grazin' Back Then  
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Richard Eldon O'Brien and Russell D. Steagall

C Em Am
The norther came quickly the clouds filled the sky
Dm D7 Dm G7
The storm brought the rain and the wind
C Em Am
The dugout was cold and our blankets were thin
Dm G7 C
But how green was the grazin' back then

Em Am
Nighthawk is singing as he makes his rounds
Dm D7 Dm G7
Who hears a rattle in his tins
C Em Am
The beef steak was stringy and the gravy was thin
Dm G7 C
But how green was the grazin' back then

F G7 C Am
Every old man dreams of when he was young
Dm G7 C
And horses that run like the wind
F G7 C Am
In his mind he's still trailing the longhorn to Dodge
Dm G7 C
Oh how green was the grazin' back then

Em Am
I still remember the unbroken plains
Dm D7 Dm G7
Or the days of the sod busting men
C Em Am
But our faces were burned by the west Texas wind
Dm G7 C
But how green was the grazin' back then

Em Am
I set on the porch in the cool evening air
Dm D7 Dm G7
I miss my old cow puncher friends
C Em Am
When we didn't care if the gravy was thin
Dm G7 C
How green was the grazin' back then

Repeat #3

F G7 C Am
In our minds we were all trailing the longhorn to Dodge
Dm G7 C
How green was the grazin' back then
