Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid · 1973

Bunkhouse Theme

A short acoustic instrumental from the soundtrack to "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid".

The words

Gentle interlocking acoustic guitars play a quiet, homely tune, like evening music in a cowboy bunkhouse.

This brief instrumental sets aside the drama of the film for a moment of calm. Acoustic guitars pick out a soft, folk-like melody that feels intimate and restful, as though played among friends at the end of a day. It does not build or change much, keeping one modest mood from start to finish. On the album it works as a breathing space between the more mournful themes and the songs.
