A Quick Death in Texas Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]My nasty Yankee mannerisms
Didn't jive with the local [A]traditions
How was I to know she [Am]had
a jeal[G]ous [Em]husband?
He was the G.M of a Tractor
Supply
Well-acquainted with with
the guns and knives
[Am]Sometimes [A]I swear I have less sense
than a bag [Am]of hamm[G]ers[Em]

[Verse 2]
I prayed for [Em]courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick
death [G]in Texas[Em]
Hey, hey

[Verse 3]
Please forgive me, Mr. Gibbons
[Em]
I crawled my way into The Doom Saloon
In an attempt to cauterize my wounds
[Am]I di[A]d a terrible job and they became
[Am]powerfully [G]infec[Em]ted
I found myself atop a stolen Roan
Quite convinced that I would never see home
[A]And all on account of my lack
of common [G]manners[Em]

[Verse 4]
I prayed for [Em]courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick death

[Interlude 1]
in Texas
[Em][Am][G][Em]
[G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Em]The saloon doors stopped swinging
The piano player stopped
playing (hey-hey)
In the shadows I could hear archaic Spanish
phrases (hey-hey)
The preacher stood up from his table,
in his right hand he held a bible (hey-hey)
And in his left,
the business end of a Winchester rifle

[Verse 6]
I prayed for [Em]courage, I prayed for love
I prayed for guidance from
the heavens above
I prayed to know divine protections
But now I'm praying for a quick
death [E]in Texas

[Verse 7]
