Deadwood Stage Doris Day [Intro] [D] [Verse 1] Oh the [D] Deadwood Stage is a-rollin' on over the plains, With the curtains flappin' and the driver slappin' the [A] reins. Beautiful [A7] sky, a [D] wonderful day. [A] Whip crack-away, [A] whip crack-away, [A] whip crack a [D]way! [Verse 2] Oh the [D] Deadwood Stage is a-headin' on over the hills, Where the Injun arrows are thicker than porcupine [A] quills. Dangerous [A7] land, no [D] time to delay. So, [A] whip crack away, [A] whip crack away, [A] whip crack a[D]way! |[Chorus 1] |We're headin' [G] straight for town, [D] loaded down, |[A] with a fancy [D] cargo, |[A] Care of Wells and [G] Fargo, Illi[A]nois [A7] boy! [Verse 3] Oh the [D] Deadwood Stage is a-comin' on over the crest, Like a homing pigeon that's a-hankerin' after its [A] nest. Twenty three [A7] miles we've [D] covered today. So, [A] whip crack away, [A] whip crack away, [A] whip crack a[D]way! |[Chorus 2] |The wheels go [G] turnin' round, [D] homeward bound, |[A] Can't you hear 'em [D] humming, |[A] Happy times are [G] coming for to [A] stay [A7] hey! [Verse 4] We'll be [D] home tonight by the light of the silvery moon, And our hearts are thumpin' like a mandolin plunking a [A] tune. When I get [A7] home, I'm [D] fixing to stay. So, [A] whip crack-away, [A] whip crack-away, [A] whip crack a[D]way.

[Verse 5] Oh my [D] throats as dry as a desert thistle in May In the Golden Garter, gonna wet my whistle [A] today [A7] Last at the bar's, a [D] three-legged crow [A] Set 'em up Joe, [A] Set 'em up Joe, [A] Set 'em up [D] Joe [A] Set 'em up Joe, [A] Set 'em up Joe, [A] Set 'em up [D] Joooooooooe [A] Yeee [D] Haaaa!
