Bm D Bm
D
My name is Conley Elms
G Bm
I died in 1981
G D
Gunned down in cold blood
F#m Bm
By an outlaw on the run
G D
On a cold gray afternoon
A Bm
I felt that bitter chill
G D
By the banks of the Owyhee
A Bm
And my soul it lives there still
D
My partner William Pogue
G Bm
He fell that day with me
G D
A straight and honest lawman
A Bm
As fair as he could be
G D
His good name put on trial
A Bm
We watched in disbelief
G D
As the system we relied on
A Bm
Set a killer all but free
G D
But with every freedom comes
A Bm
An even greater cost
G D
The answer seldom easy
A
The question sometimes lost
G F#m
For though our lives were shortened
Bm G
Our work was not in vain
D A Bm
And given one more chance
G Bm
I'd wear that badge again
D Bm
D
Now many years gone by
G Bm
Our families carry on
G D
Though our lives have been lost
A Bm
Our legacy grows strong
G D
And every man must answer
A Bm
For the things that he has done
G D
We find our peace in knowing
A Bm
The judgment day shall come
