[Intro 1]
[D][C][D][C][D][C][D]
[C][D][C][D][C][D]
Big tall man stand[Dm]ing in

[Verse 1]
[D]
the street
[F]Gun hanging on by [C]his sid[G]e
Just one man that he'd like to meet
That's [A]when I began to hide

[Verse 2]
I [D]recog[Dm]nized him from the face of [D]his son
The [F]hate in his eye [C]didn't [G]lie
And what I did can't be undone
Bor[A]rowed time, there's none to buy
[D]

[Verse 3]
Well, I hid around [Dm]the back
of a derel[D]ict [A]shack
[F]Ain't looking for a mad [G]showdown
But he was smart, he'd already checked
A [A]week in advance I'd paid down
Well, [F]the hotel

[Verse 4]
[Dm]clerk was a fun-loving man
[D]man[A]
[F]The job he had[C] it did[G]n't pay
He told all about what
happened that night
There he [A]is,
that's the one's all [D]he'd say[A]

[Verse 5]
[D]Well, all the people were
[A]Running, jumping, even thump[G]ing
On my bad neighbor's doors
Crying [A]curly Billy silly with
his colt he calls filly
[G]Let me in I gotta hide

[Verse 6]
[D]Well, everybody was
[A]Crying, sighing Sam [G]McGee's dying
No one to protect our town
[A]Curly Billy silly with his colt he calls filly
[G]He's gonna shoot you[F]r sheriff down

[Interlude 1]
[D]
Big tall [A]man stand[Dm]ing in

[Verse 7]
[D]the street
Now a [F]hand hovering [C]ready to [G]slide
Drew out his gun, it wasn't for fun
[A]Let me in there's nowhere to hide
[F]Well,

[Verse 8]
[Dm]I made my play but
it wasn't my [A]day[Dm]
[F]I felt the rip[G]ping lead
That's when I knew my
time was through
Rest in [A]peace were the last words [D]he said

[Verse 9]
[D]
Well, all the people were

Crying [A]curly Billy silly with
