"The Switch and the Spur" Chords Tabbed by: Ben White Intro: G D Bb A Ab Bb C G |x2
Gm                    F
   In the heat of the desert sun,

Gm                   F
   on the blistering trail

Gm
   An appaloosa and,

D                           Bb  F   C
   a wanted man sprung from jail

Gm                    F
   Slow in motion and shadow-less

Gm                    F
   The switch and the spurs

Gm                   D
   Every living thing, with a fatal sting

Bb         F         C
   Bark and rattle this curse
Chorus: G D Bb A Ab Bb C G x2
Gm               F
   The rider hallucinates

Gm                            F
   The snapping hooves on the sand

Gm                    D
   Spits a venom dream, recalls a stranger scream

Bb       F      C
   And a broken hand...

Gm                         F
   The saddle spotted with sweat and blood

Gm                              F
   The poison pumps through his veins

Gm                          D
   There's no stopping this, and now he's powerless

Bb       F           C
   Still holding the reigns...

   Gm                 D
   Any poor souls who trespass against us

   Bb            F        C
   Whether it be beast or man

        Gm                    D
   Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight

      Bb          F          C
   By those who inhabit this land

       Gm                      D
   For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom

      Bb          F        C
   As sure as the sun does burn

      Gm                   D
   So enter this path, but heed these four words,

   Bb        F        C
   You shall never return...

   Gm (or G)          D
   Any poor souls who trespass against us

   Bb            F        C
   Whether it be beast or man

        G                     D
   Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight

      Bb          F          C
   By those who inhabit this land

       Gm                      D
   For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom

      Bb          F        C
   As sure as the sun does burn

      G                   D
   So enter this path, but heed these four words,

   Bb        F        C
   You shall never return...
