[G]For the arm[C]y of Pan[F]cho[C] Vil[G]la
[C]Stand

[C]Bound up my arms with [G]wire
Of[C]ficer came he says,
"Take your [G]aim –

Bullet holes all [F]across my [G]chest
[C]Ripped up my shirt and [F]my

To the [C]rhythm of [F]life [C]in [G]side [C]me–o

Fell to the [F]ground, the

One [C]last shot to [G]the
head­–o
[C]Heard through the pain as he [F]walked away
And [C]left me there [F]for [G]dea[C]d–o
All went quiet so I [F]crawled [G]away

[C]Ten good shots, I [F]took them [G]all
And [C]lived to [F]tell my [G]story[C]
