[Am][G][Em][Am]
[G]
[Em]I've seen

[Verse 1]
[Am]the badlands,
I held a whirl[Em]wind in [Am]my hand
I [Em]slept [Am]in a cellar,
whiskey [Dm]had [Am]washed away the [Em]sand[Am]
[Dm]Gamblers are cheated and [Em]sheriffs are lied
The [Dm]last thing they saw from
the [G]dust [Am]as they died
[Gm]Was my smoki[C]ng forty -five,
[F]my [C]smoking forty -five
[F]Ten [Em]thou[Am]sand dollars,
that's what [Dm]I'm worth dead [Am]or alive
[Em]Six [Am]loaded chambers, ten been rolled u[Em]p,
not [Am]one [Em]survived
[Am]They [Dm]got my name on the tele[Em]graph wire
Of [Dm]dead men's faces and
a gun [Em]that's so high
[Am]Gamblers who cheated,
[Em]sheriffs who lied
The [Dm]last thing they saw, from the [G]distance [Am]they [Gm]died,
was the [C]smoke of forty [F]-five
