Chisum Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[D] bl[G]ood
on my [C]sheets
[G]has soaked through the band[C]age
That they wrapped [G]around
some stitches in my [Am]side[D]
But these [G]old country [C]doctors
have [G]come to ex[C]pect it
From the [A]cowboys that come
here [D]once a year to ride
Now [G]starin' at the ceil[C]in',
I'm [G]tryin' to get [C]my senses
But I can't re[G]call too
much of yester[Am]day[D]
Ex[G]cept for some [C]cussin'
at that [G]bull we call [C]Chisum
As they [G]turned us out [D]of chute
number [G]three

[Verse 2]
[C]Chisum (Chisum), Chisum
(Chisum) you're a big bad son of [D]a gun
Your [Em]hide is tough and
it's been scarred
[C]Where spurs have dug in deep,
but never [D]hung
[G]Chisum, you're the [C]only reason
[G]that I keep on [C]ridin'
And I'll ride [G]you [D]before my
ridin's[G]done

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]Someone's brought the pa[C]per,
and I'm [G]starin' unbe[C]lievin'
At [G]the story that's laid out
before my [Am]eyes[D]
[G]It talks about [C]you Chisum,
how [G]they brought you up from [C]Texas
And the cow[A]boy that made
a valiant sev[D]en- second ride
It [G]mentions how you [C]broke your leg when
[G]we went down togeth[C]er
[G]And it talks about your horn in my [Am]side[D]
But it's [G]goin' on [C]to say
they had [G]to put you away
[C]But it don't tel[G]l about
[D]the tears in my [G]eyes

[Verse 4]
[C]Chisum (Chisum), Chisum (Chisum) well I love you,
you son of [D]a gun
Your [Em]hide was tough and it was scarred
Well, [C]my spurs have dug in deep,
but never [D]hung
[G]Chisum, [C]I tell you all my [G]ridin'
days are [C]over
'Cause [G]after you there's
[D]nothin' left [G]to ride

[Verse 5]
[C]Chisum (Chisum), Chisum
(Chisum) you're a big bad son of [D]a gun
Your [Em]hide was tough and
it was scarred
Where [C]spurs have dug in deep,
but never hun[D]g
[G]Chisum, I [C]tell you all my [G]ridin'
days [C]are over
'Cause [G]after you there's
[D]nothin' left [G]to ride

[Verse 6]
[C]Chisum (Chisum), Chisum (Chisum)
