The Drifter (84) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]He was a drifter,
drifting [E]on from town to town
He was a drifter that put
John
[A]Brady in the ground
He was a drifter,
true [E]love made him go astray
He was a drifter, now in
[Am]Yuma he must stay.
The scene was a western barroom,
[Dm]the [E]time about sundown.
That's when the drifter came to [Am]town.
He rode into
Yuma [Dm]with [E]his gun
strapped to his side
Looking for
John
Brady, the [Am]man that took his pride
He walked into the barroom,
but no [E]one knew his name
He spotted old
John
Brady [Am]in a poker game
They walked outside and a thirsty
crowd [E]began to gather round
Each man took ten paces,
but [Am]the drifter cut him down
And the marshal took the drifter,
put [E]him in the calypso
His hours they were numbered,
till [Am]he'd have to face the deuce
Then darkness came to
Yuma and the [E]western town was still
A screamin' leech mob took the
drifter an[Am]d hung him on a hill
He [E]was the [A]drifter,
driftin' [E]on from town to town
He was the drifter that put
John
[A]Brady in the ground
He was a drifter,
true [E]love made him go astray
He was a drifter,
now [Am]in the old he must stay
you
