[Verse]
Bb
One hour ahead of the posse
Bb
The bloodhounds are hot on my trail
F
Last evening I shot down my sweetheart
Bb
This morning I broke out of jail
Bb
My Pinto is tired and hungry
Bb
And I'm feeling weary and gone
F
We started ahead of the posse
Bb
And we got to keep going on
A
The sherrif aswored he would get me
A Bb A
He's riding with 20 and 5
A
But I'm ain't afeared of that posse
G C
Till they never get me alive
Bb
One hour ahead of the posse
Bb
No turning to left or to right
F
We must win the race to the river
Bb
Or there'll be a hanging tonight
F Bb
We're gonna hang him tonight!
Bb
One hour ahead of the posse
No time for remorse or regret
But somehow her blue eyes still haunt me
Her laughter is taunting me yet
Bb
It started the night that I met her
She kissed me and vowed she would care
I traded the gold in my pocket
To fondle the gold in her hair
A
She lied when she said that she loved me
Bb A
She lied with each kiss that she gave
A
She lied till the moment I caught her
G C
And now she lies still in her grave
Bb
One hour ahead of the posse
Bb
The night is a-coming on fast
