[G]

[Verse 1]
Well, there was this movie I seen one [C]time
About a man [Am]riding 'cross the desert
and it [D]starred Gregory [G]Peck
He was shot down by a hungry kid trying
to make a name for [C]himself
The townspeople wanted [Am]to crush that
kid down and [D]string him up by the [G]neck

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]the marshal,
now he beat that kid to a bloody [C]pulp
As the [Am]dy ing gunfighter lay in th[D]e sun
and gasped for [G]his last breath
Turn him loose, let him go,
let him say he outdrew me fair and [C]square
I want him [Am]to feel what it's like
to every [C]moment face his [G]death
Well, [D]I keep seeing

[Verse 3]
[G]this stuff
and it just comes a-rolling in
[C]in
And you know [Am]it blows right through me
like [D]a ball and [C]chain[G]
You know I can't believe we've lived so
long and are still so far [C]apart
The [Am]memory of you keeps call
[D]in' after me like a [G]rollin' train

[Verse 4]
I can still [G]see the day that you came to
me on the painted [C]desert
In your [Am]bus ted down Ford
and your [Dsus4]platform [G]heels
I could never figure out why you chose
that particular place to [C]meet
Ah, but you [Am]were right,
it was perfect as [C]I got in behind [G]the wheel

[Verse 5]
Well, we drove [G]that car all night
into [C]San Anton'
And we slept [Am]near the Alamo,
your [Dsus4]skin was so tender and so[G]ft
[C]Way dow[G]n in Mexico you went out to
find a doctor [C]and you never came back
I would have [Am]gone on after you but I didn't
[Dsus4]feel like letting my h[C]ead get blow[G]n off

[Verse 6]
Well, we're drivin' [G]this car and the sun
is comin' up over the Rockies
[C]Now I know she[Am] ain't you but she's here
[D]and she's got that dark rhythm [G]in her soul
But I'm too over the edge and
I ain't in the mood anymore
To remem[C]ber the times when
I was your only man
And she don't [Am]want to remind me,
she knows this [D]car would go out of con[G]trol[Dsus4]

[Verse 7]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
[Am]Teeth like [C]pearls shin[D]ing like the
moon [G]above[D]
[G]Brownsville girl,
show [C]me all around the world
[Am]Brownsville girl, you're [D]my honey [G]love

[Verse 8]
Well, we crossed [G]the panhandle
and then we headed toward[C]s Amarillo
We pulled up where Henry
Porter [D]used to live
[Am]He owned a wreckin[D]' lot outside
of town about [G]a mile[C]
[G]Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes,
she had her red hair [C]tied back
She saw us come rolling
up in a trail of dust
[Am]She said, Henry ain't here but you c[D]an come on in,
he'll be back in a [G]little [C]while
[G]Then she told

[Verse 9]
us how times were tough
and about how she was thinkin' of
Bummin' a [C]ride back to where she started
But she changed [Am]the subject
every [C]time money [D]came up
[C]She[G] said, welcome to the land
of the living dead
You could [C]tell she was so broken-hearted
She She [Am]said, even the swap meets around here
[D]are getting pretty [G]corrupt

[Verse 10]
How far [G]are y'all going,
Ruby asked us [C]with a sigh
We're going [Am]all the way
[D]'til the wheels fall off and [G]burn
'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat
covers [C]fade and the water moccasin dies
[Am]Ruby just smiled and said,
[D]ah, you know some babies nev[G]er learn

[Verse 11]
[G]Something about that movie though,
well I just can't get [C]it out of my head
But I can't remember [Am]why I was in it
[D]or what part I was supposed to [G]play
[C]All I re[G]member about it was Gregory
Peck and the way [C]people moved
[Am]And a lot of them seemed to be[D]
lookin' my [G]way

[Verse 12]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
[Am]Teeth like pearls shin[Dsus4]ing
like the [D]moon [G]above
Brownsville girl,
[C]show me all around the world
[Am]Brownsville girl, [Dsus4]you're my honey

[Interlude 1]
love

[Verse 13]
Well, they [G]were looking for somebody
with a [C]pompadour
I was [Am]crossin' the street
[D]when shots rang out[G]
I didn't know whether to
duck or to run, [C]so I ran
We got him [Am]cornered in the churchyard,
I [D]heard somebody [G]shout

[Verse 14]
Well, you saw [G]my picture in the
Corpus Christi Tribune
Underneath it, it said, [C]a man with no alibi
You went out on [Am]a limb to testify for me,
[D]you said I was with [G]you
Then when I saw you break down in
front of the judge and cry [C]real tears
It was the [Am]be st acting I [C]saw anyb[D]ody do

[Verse 15]
[G]Now I've always been the kind of person
that doesn't like to trespass
But [C]sometimes you just find
yourself over the line
Oh if there's an original thought out there,
[D]I could use it right n[G]ow
You know, I feel pretty good, but that
ain't sayin' much
I could feel a whole lot [C]better
If you were just here by my
[D]side to [C]show me [G]how

[Verse 16]
Well, I'm standin' [G]in line in the rain to see
a movie starring Gregory [C]Peck
Yeah, but [Am]you know it's not the
[C]one that I [D]had in [G]mind
He's got a new one out now,
[C]I don't even know what it's about
But I'll see him [Am]in anything [C]so
[D]I'll stand in [G]lin[C]e

[Verse 17]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
[Am]Teeth like pearls [D]shining like
the moon [G]above
Brownsville girl,
[C]show me all around the world
[Am]Brownsville girl, [D]you're my honey

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 18]
You know, it's funny how things [G]never turn
[C]out the way you had 'em planned
The only thing we knew for
[D]sure about Henry Porter
Is that his name wasn't Henry Port[G]er
[C]And you know there was[G] somethin'
about you baby
That I liked that was always
too good for this [C]world
Just like you always said [Am]there was
something about me you liked
[D]That I left behind in the
French Quarter
[G]

[Verse 19]
Strange how people who suffer together
have stronger connections
Than people [C]who are most content
I don't have any [Am]regrets,
they can talk [C]about me [D]plenty when I'm [G]gone
You always said people don't
do what they believe in
They just do what's [C]most convenient,
then they repent
And I always said, [Am]hang on to [C]me, baby,
[D]and let's hope that the roof stays [G]on
There [D]was a movie

[Verse 20]
[G]I seen one time,
[C]I think I sat through it twice
I don't [Am]remember who I was
or [D]where I was [G]bound[C]
[G]All I remember about it was
it starred Gregory Peck
[C]He wore a gun and he was
shot in the back
Seems like a [Am]long time ago,
long [C]before the stars were torn [G]down[D]

[Verse 21]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
Teeth [Am]like pearls [C]shining like
the moon [D]above[G]
Brownsville girl,
[C]show me all around the world
Browns[Am]ville girl,
[C]you[D]'re my honey love
[G]

[Verse 22]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
[Am]Teeth [C]like pearls [D]shining like the
[C]moon [D]abo[G]ve[C]
[G]Brownsville girl,
[C]show me all around the world
[Am]Brownsville girl,
[D]you're my honey [G]love

[Verse 23]
[G]Brownsville girl with your
[C]Brownsville curls
[Am]Teeth [C]lik[D]e[C][G][C]
pearls
[G]shining [C]like the moon above
