Johnny Horton – Streets Of Dodge (Guitar)

C             Am         C            Am
Only a saddle for my bed heaven as my lodge

C            Am         C                 Am
Since I lost everything on the streets of Dodge

C      F          C
On the streets of Dodge

             Am      C         Am
Left old San Antonio back in '68

C                Am          C                Am
Headed for Dodge City Kansas there to meet my babe

C        F       C
There to meet my babe

                 Am      C                 Am
The reason I was leaving was to see my Emmylou

C         Am          C                        Am
She and a gambler man fell in love and made me blue

C       F                C
Fell in love and made me blue

               Am         C               Am
As I rode into Dodge City on that fateful day

C                     Am         C                       Am
When I stopped at the big saloon I could hear the people say

C            F              C
Son you made your fate this day

              Am   C                   Am
I went for my 44 I saw the blur of his hand

C               Am            C                    Am
And I felt that hot lead burn as he shot me to the sand

C       F      C
Shot me to the sand

                     Am          C             Am
With one boot in the stirrup and burning shame inside

C                Am         C                Am
I left old Dodge City where I lost my loving bride

C       F              C
Where I lost my loving bride

              Am             C            Am
Only a saddle for my bed and heaven as my lodge

C      Am         C                       Am
I lost everything there on the streets of Dodge

C            F          C
There on the streets of Dodge
