[Verse 1]
C F C
We left San Antonio in April '83
C F D G
Trailin' a herd to the railhead, my brother Bob and me
C F C
Except for dust and Comanches, and nesters pushin' plows
C F G F
All I've seen since the day we left was the south end of those cows

[Verse 2]
C F C
But there was lights in the distance, I thought I heard music play
C F D G
The voice of fallen angels get closer everyday
C F C
Well a hunter come by in a wagon, he looked part Cherokee
C F G C
I said, "What's ahead of us partner?" this is what he said to me:

[Chorus]
C F
Yonder's Dodge City
C F
Queen of the cow towns
C G
Runnin' a wide open game
C F
Don't try to brand her
C F
She's too wild to handle
C G C
Too tough by far for you to tame

[Verse 3]
C F C
I drank whiskey in the Long Branch, and I got in a poker game
C F D G
Danced with some fancy ladies I don't recall by name
C F C
Woke up in jail next morning, this blue lump on my head
C F G C
And an old tin star named Wyatt Earp unlocked the cell and said:

[Chorus]
C F
This here's Dodge City
C F
Queen of the cow towns
C G
Runnin' a wide open game
C F
Don't try to brand her
C F
She's too wild to handle
C G C
Too tough by far for you to tame
