[D][C][Am][F][G][Dm]

[Verse 1]
IN [Dm]THE SOUTHERN PART OF TEXAS,
EAST AND [C]WEST OF EL PASO
[Am]WHERE THE MIGHTY FRANKLIN MOUNTAINS
GUARD THE [Dm]TRAIL TO MEXICO
THERE'S A NEW-MADE WIDOW WIDOW
CRYING AND [C]A HEARSE A ROLLIN SLOW
[Am]I GUESS THE DEVILS PASSED
THIS WAY [Dm]AGAIN[Em][F]
[Em]THERE'S A

[Verse 2]
[Dm]LATHERED SORREL STALLION
RUNNING [C]THRU THE JOSHUA TREES
[Am]AND A YOUNG MAN IN THE SADDLE WITH
HIS COAT [Dm]TAILS IN THE BREEZE
HE'S GOT A SIX GUN ON HIS RIGHT HIP
AND [C]A RIFLE AT HIS KNEES
AND HE'S [Am]DEALING IN A GAME
THAT HE CAN'T [Dm]WIN

[Verse 3]
[Dm]CHORUS
POOR BILLY BONNEY, YOU'RE [C]ONLY 21,
PAT [Bb]GAR RETT'S GOT YOUR NAME ON
EVERY [F]BULLET IN [Am]HIS GUN
EVERY [Dm]NOTCH YOU CARVE
ON YOUR SIX GUN
HAS A [C]BLOODY TALE TO TELL
[Am]YOU'RE A MILE AHEAD OF GARRETT AND A
STEP OUTSIDE OF [Dm]HELL
[C][Am]

[Verse 4]
[D][C][Am]
THOSE [Dm]FANCY CLOTHES YOUR WEARIN
AND THE [C]WO MEN IN YOUR BED
CAN'T [Am]TAKE AWAY THE TRACES OF
[Dm]THE MEN THAT YOU'VE LEFT DEAD
AS YOU RIDE ACROSS THE BAD LANDS
WITH A [C]PRICE UPON YOUR HEAD
AND [Am]NOW THE WHEEL
OF FORTUNE STARTS TO [Dm]Turn
[Am]YOU'RE

[Verse 5]
[Dm]REPUTATION'S GROWN TILL
IT'S THE [C]BIGGEST IN THE LAND
AND THERE [Am]AIN'T ALOT OF PEOPLE LEFT
WHO [Dm]WANT TO CALL YOUR HAND
AND I GUESS YOU'LL GO DOWN SHOOTIN
AND [C]LIKE ALL BRANDED MEN
WHEN YOU [Am]SHAKE HANDS WITH THE
DEVIL [C]YOU GET [Dm]BURNED
