[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
[Verse]
Am Dm Am A tall handsome stranger rode into town Dm Am E7 Am With fire in his eyes burning red as sundown Dm Am His boots were all dusty, his coat open wide Dm Am E7 Am Am Am Am Six ways of dying hung low on his side
[Verse]
Dm Am He went in the town hall asking for me Dm Am E7 Am They told him that I was still town deputy Dm Am I sent him to prison to pay for his crime Dm Am E7 Am Am Am Am He killed a guard on the Sante Fe line
[Verse]
Am Dm Am He spread word around town that my time had come Dm Am E7 Am My notch was already carved on his gun Dm Am He's laughing and braggin and having his fun Dm Am E7 Am Am Am Am It's all a show for he knows I won't run
[Bridge]
F G That night in silence the town was asleep F C I sat by my window and looked down the street E7 Am I wished in my heart that he would just ride away E7 Am Am Am Am I hated to face him next sunup that day
[Verse]
Dm Am I met him at sunup, the crowd gathered round Dm Am E7 Am Waitin and watching for one to go down Dm Am He grabbed for his six gun, tryin his best Dm Am E7 Am Am Am Am He cursed as my bullet went deep in his chest
[Verse]
Dm Am He stood there a moment and looked all around Dm Am E7 Am Slowly and lifeless he fell to the ground Dm Am The stranger's my brother, born an outlaw Dm Am E7 Am Am Am Am He must have forgotton I taught him to draw
[Bridge]
F G The whole town was waiting and I was alone F C The blood that I spilled was just like my own E7 Am When she hears this story, how Mother will cry E7 Am Brother 'gainst brother and one had to die Am To die Am To die
