[Intro 1] [C][G][F][G][C][F][C] [F] [Verse 1] Was it [F]bitter then with our backs against [C]the wall?[F][C][G] Were we better men than we'd ever been before? [C]Say[F], i[C]f s[F]he came again today, would you still answer to the [C]call?[F][C][G] Tell the truth, my friend, don't it matter [C]anymore?[F] We were simple men by her side when she was [C]born[G] It was simple then like the freedom when you [C]fall[F] And we were smaller then, you see, but soon we gathered like a [C]storm.[F][C][G] They [Dm]don't [G]understand what that thunder meant at [C]all.[F][C][F][C][F][G] [C][F] Was he crucified? Was he done in by the [C]lawman?[G] Are you satisfied that he'll never ride [C]again?[F][C] [F]Some people say he got away; they say he never died at [C]all.[G] If that story's true, does it bother you, my [C]friend?[F] Was it bitter then, with our backs against the [C]wall?[F][G] Were we better men than we'd ever been [C]before? [F]Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the [C]call?[F][G] Tell the truth, my friend, [Outro 1] don't it matter anymore? [C][F] [C][C]
