[Intro]
G D A D
[Verse 1]
D G
They sent me out from Santa Fe to try and find his trail
G D A
They think that I'm the only one who can bring him back to jail
D G
This star says I'm a lawman this gun has seen me through
G D A D D
And though my heart is heavy I've got a job to do.
[Verse 2]
G D
You see he's such a proud man who never learned to crawl
D A7
But a good man turn gun slinger is the meanest man of all
D D7 G
He killed the US Marshall and for that he's gonna pay
G D A7 D D
And I'm the lonely lawman who's on his trail today.
[Solo]
G D A D
[Verse 3]
D G
There was a time he fought for truth and on the side of right
G D A7
Until the only girl he loved was killed one faithful night
D G
I know his heart was shattered as he turned the barren sod
G D A7 D D
And laid away her body come ending it to God.
[Verse 4]
G D
Then he vowed a revenge to those who took her life
D A7
And every notch upon his gun a tear shed for his wife
D G
But revenge is like wild fire sweepin' through the wood
G D A7 D D
It turns reason into ashes and it burns out on the good.
[Verse 5]
A D
Now I can't help but remember as I trail this lonesome man
D A7
I don't believe while we were boys I won any race we ran
D G
For you see his face resembles mine we talk somewhat the same
G D A7 D D
And though we walk in differend worlds we both wear our daddy's name...
