This strange, haunting song was specifically written for Episode 16 (Song in the Dark) in Season 4 of the TV show Bonanza. To hear
how it is played, do a youtube search for the episode of the TV show. There were no online tabs, soundtracks, or lyrics when I
looked so I took the time to figure out the chords from the youtube video of the show and the lyrics from a subtitles database. The
song is fun to play and makes you feel like a real cowboy when sung

Mary, a star, shines down,
Bm A
down in the ground she lies,
G D
under an earthly mound,
F# Bm 3x Bm
that's where her spirit lies.
[Chorus]
Bm A
She was young, so fair,
Bm A
cheated and lied, you see,
G D
so with a deadly care,
F# Bm 3x Bm
he set her spirit free.
[Chorus]
Bm A
Now every night he rides,
Bm A
to that deserted place,
G D
there in the sands so white,
F# Bm 3x Bm
where he could see her face.
[Chorus]
Bm A
Lonely as he can be,
Bm A
riding on endlessly,
G D
lonely as he can be,
F# Bm 3x Bm
his spirit never free.

Rim, rim, under the red rock rim,

that's where to look for him.
