[A][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
There was [D]a man
who [Em]owned a [E]part of town
Ap[F#m]proached me in his saloon
and [G]asked me to sit down

[Verse 2]
Was I [D]unemployed or [E]would I like a job
[F#m]He said he owned the stage line and
there were [G]men who liked to rob

[Verse 3]
He [D]offered me his [A]daughter's hand,
an ad[G]vance of [D]salary
A fancy gun, a [A]pair of boots,
[G]and a share in the company

[Verse 4]
Now I ride [D]shotgun [A]on his sta[G]ge lin[D]e
I ride [A]shotgun on his [G]life[D]
I ride [A]shotgun on his [G]money[D]
I ride [A]shotgun on his [G]wife[D]
[A]Shotgun [D]rider, sho[A]tgun rid[D]er,

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
There [D]were outlaws who
[Em]waited on [E]the trail
[F#m]For the stagecoach daily run with
[G]payrolls and the mail

[Verse 6]
They spied [D]our dust,
and [E]saddled up to ride
[F#m]They saw the worried [F#]driver
[F#m]with me s[G]ittin' at his side

[Verse 7]
So [D]they circled 'round the [A]stagecoach
it [G]was their daily [D]fun
Until they saw [A]the driver smile [G]and spied my trusty gun

[Verse 8]
We caught the [D]outlaws and
[Em]took them [E]back to jail
Sent [F#m]for the county marshal
and [G]would not post a bail

[Verse 9]
Sent 'em up [D]the river.
That [Em]sure cleaned up [E]the town
I [F#m]was elected sheriff.
The [G]mayor asked me down

[Verse 10]
I [D]now own half [A]the stage line
and [G]half the rest [D]of town
I go to chuch on [A]Sunday.
I [G]think I've settled down
