One Hour Ahead Of The Posse Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]One hour ahead of the[Ab] posse
[G]The bloodhounds are hot on my [D]trail
Last night I shot my sweetheart
This morning I broke out [G]of jail

[Verse 2]
My Pinto [G]is tired and [Ab]hungry
[G]And I'm feeling weary and war[D]m
We started ahead of the posse
And we got to keep [G]going on
The [Bm]sherrif

[Verse 3]
[G]aswored he
would get [B]me
[G]He's [C]riding with [G]20 and 5
But I'm not [A]afeared of that posse
They never will get me [D]alive
[G]

[Verse 4]
One hour ahead of the posse
No turning to left or to [D]right
We must win the race to the river
Or there'll be a hanging [G]tonight
[Ab]

[Verse 5]
One hour ahead of the posse
No time for remorse or regret
[Eb]But somehow her eyes
still haunt me
Her laughter is taunting me [Ab]yet

[Verse 6]
It started the [Ab]night that I met her
She kissed me and vowed she would [Eb]care
I traded the gold in my pocket
To fondle the curls in [Ab]her hair
She lied [C]when she

[Verse 7]
[Cm]told [G]me
[Cm]she loved [G]me[Cm]
She [Db]lied with each kiss that she [Ab]gave
She lied [Fm]to the mo[Bb] ment I caught her
And now she lies still in her [Eb]grave
[Ab]

[Verse 8]
On hour ahead of the posse
The night is a- coming on [Eb]fast
We must win the race to the Rio
And well shake that old
pos[Ab]se at last
[A]

[Verse 9]
We're nearing the end of our journey
And now I'm inside [D]of my [A]goal[Gb]
[Gbm]At last w[Cbm]e've beaten [D]the posse[A]
[A]May the [Cbm]Lord have mercy o[D]n
[A]my [E]sou[A]l[D][A]
(May the [D]Lord [Cbm]have
[D]mercy on [E]hissoul)

[Outro 1]
