These are the chords for The Last Comanche Moon by Mike Blakely on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
[Intro]
Am G
[Chorus]
F
The last Comanche moon
C
was shinin' on me,
G
Bright as day my true love walked
the trail from Hell's Midnight,
Am G
I rode the Milky Way,
F
I raced the Wolf the night,
C
The Broken Arrow fell,
G
I staked my life and lost
my fortune,
Am
For to save the Mission Belle.
[Interlude]
N.C. Am
Hey-y oh.
[Verse 1]
Am F
I was a cowboy once down on
the Rio Grande,
G Am
I rode the ranges for the Broken
Arrow brand,
F
I was on guard that fateful night
in early June,
G Am
I saw the risin' of the last
G/B
Comanche moon,
C G
I saw the warriors ride around
the river bend,
Dm
I give a shout to rouse the boys
Am G/B
their home ranch to defend,
C
They kept us pinned down with
G
a hundred arrows flung,
Dm
They come for all our horses,
Am
and they left us with just one,
I'd locked him with a trace chain to
F
a live oak tree that day,
G
My racin' blue roan stallion
Am
I called the Milky Way.
[Interlude]
Am
Hey-y oh.
[Verse 2]
Am F
His daddy was a mustang and a famous
fightin' stud,
G Am
His mamma was a thoroughbred of pure
Kentucky blood,
F
He was worth a fortune of a thousand,
maybe more,
G
His winnin's numbered hundreds and
Am G/B C
his winters numbered four,
G
They raised a cheer back at the Broken
Arrow Ranch,
Dm
When I rode the Milky Way into
Am G/B C
the moonlighted Comanch,
G
I shot my way out through a hundred
painted braves,
Dm
And struck the trail that led to
Am
town my true love for to save,
My true love was a barmaid and
F
she worked at Gambler's Hell,
G
Her name was Julie Anne but she
Am
was called the Mission Belle.
[Interlude]
Am
Hey-y oh.
[Verse 3]
Am
Julie Anne lived in the ruins of
F
the ancient mission church,
G
That stood a mile from town out,
Am
Where the braves were sure to search,
She always walked the trail alone
F
from Hell's Midnight Saloon,
G
And I was bound to save her from
Am G/B C
the last Comanche moon,
G
Halfway to town and I was crossin'
Devil Branch,
Dm Am
I run onto another raidin' party
G/B C
of Comanch,
G
I recognized a warrior on a blood
bay mare,
Dm
I knew his name was Wolf,
Am
They said he'd lifted lots of hair,
Am
We had hoss raced at the fort,
F
He admired my blue roan stud,
G
He come on through the moonlight
Am G
like a lobo trailin' blood,

F C
The last Comanche moon was shinin' on
me,
G
Bright as day my true love walked
the trail from Hell's Midnight,
Am G
I rode the Milky Way,
F
I raced the Wolf the night,

The Broken Arrow fell,

[Interlude]
Am
Hey-y oh.
[Verse 4]
Am F
I shot my pistol dry and dropped
it on the road,
G
With my saddle bag and cartridge
Am
belt to lighten up the load,
Am
But an arrow found old Milky Way,
F
And his wound began to bleed,
G
And the Wolf was on his war horse,
Am G/B C
A fleet Comanche steed,
G
There in the moonlight rose the ancient
mission wall,
Dm
The Wolf was right behind me when
Am G/B C
I heard my true love call,
G
I rode the racehorse of a lifetime
to the ground,
Dm
I swear it died a runnin' and
Am
his likes have not been found,
F
I landed on my shadow and I lay
just where I fell,
G
The screams of Julie Ann met with
Am
the Wolf's Comanche yell.
[Interlude]
Am
Hey-y oh.
[Verse 5]
Am F
I've been called a liar and I've
been called a fool,
G
'N I've been told Comanches grant
Am
no mercy as a rule,
But old Wolf he seen me helpless
F
and he seen his chance I know,
G
But he only rode right by me,
Am G/B C
and he struck me with his bow,
G
He could have killed me but he only
counted coup,
Dm
He turned and touched the Milky Way
Am G/B C
before the ghost had flew,
G
He give a war yell like a wolf
burned with a brand,
Dm
Then turned and ducked the pistol
Am
shot fired by Julie Ann,
F
She helped me right up from the hard
spot where I fell,
G Am
The last Comanche moon, the Milky Way,
the Mission Belle.

And it's been twenty winters since

I'm goin' for to join her boys,

my time is near at hand,
G
Don't mind my passin' boys, it's time
the old man died,

The Wolf he waits to guide me
Am G/B C
up the trail o'er the divide,
G
The moon is risin' like it did
so long ago,
Dm
I see the warriors waitin'
Am
on the ridge now, all aglow,
F
Farewell world of trouble here
comes Julie Ann,
G
She rides the Milky Way to take
Am G
me to the promised land.
