Verse 1:

       C           Am7           C
Way out west, in a nest from the rest
          Am7             D          D7
Dwelt the best-est little Broncho boy
         G7            G9            G7
He could ride he could glide o'er the prairies
G9   G7 C     CdimG7
Like an arrow.

      C           Am7          C
Ev'ry maid in the glade, was a-fraid
         Am7              D          D7
He would trade his little heart a-way
   D9          D7
So each little peach
       D9          D7
Made a nice little speech of
Cdim GdimG7 G7+
Love to him

Chorus:

C        D7
Pony boy pony boy
G7       G9  G7 C
Won't you be my Tony boy
          CdimG7
Don't say no here we go
Dm   G7        C     CdimG7
Off across the plains

C        D7
Marry me carry me
G7      G9  G7   E7
Right a-way with you
Am                         Cdim
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up Whoa
C  D7 G7C
My Pony Boy.

Verse 2:

         C             Am7          C
Till one day, out that way, so they say
        Am7           D          D7
Came to stay a Fluffy Ruffle girl
         G7            G9            G7
She made eyes, she sur-prised and he found
    G9    G7  C       CdimG7
His heart was lass-oed

        C              Am7           C
When he thought he was caught how he fought
        Am7              D          D7
But she taught this pony boy to love
       D9              D7          D9          D7
But he balked when she talked of a trip to New York
       Cdim GdimG7 G7+
So she sang to him

Chorus Repeat:

         C6
