Drive-By Truckers – Ramon Casiano (Guitar)

A                       E
It all started with the border

E                               D
And that's still where it is today

D                         A
Someone killed Ramon Casiano

A                     E
And the killer got away

E
Down by the Sister Cities river

E                      D
Two boys with way more pride than sense

D                           A
One would fall and one would prosper

A                     E
Never forced to make amends

                   E
He became a border agent

E                        D
And supplemented what he made

D                      A
With creative deportation

A                        E
And missing ammo by the case

E
Since Bullet ran the operation

E                            D
There's hardly been a minute since

D                             A
There ain't a massing at the border

A                            E
From Chinese troops to terrorists

                          D
He had the makings of a leader

D                     A
Of a certain kind of men

A                             D
Who need to feel the world's against him

D                     A
Out to get 'em if it can

A                            G
Men whose trigger pull their fingers

G                            A
Of men who'd rather fight than win

A                   E
United in a revolution

E                       D
Like in mind and like in skin

                          E
It all started with the border

E                            D
And that's still where it is today

D                        A
Down by the Sister Cities river

A                        E
But for sure no one can say

E                                 
But killing's been the bullet's business

E               D
Since back in 1931

D                       A
Someone killed Ramon Casiano

A                           E
And Ramon still ain't dead enough
