The Gunfighter's Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The [G]year o[F]n[Am][G][C]
the tombstone [G]reads [Am]1805
It [F]says that [G]he died by [C]the gun
On a cool purple evening in [G]New Mexico
[Am]A prairie [F]of sha[G]dows and sto[C]ne
[G]With the [Am]coyotes howl and
the [G]lonesome wind
His [F]mournful story is [C]told
[G]He [Am]longs to ride and be [G]free again
[F]Oh, when the devil is [G]sold
And the legend grows [C]old
So [F]let's sing [G]a song for him [C]now, boys
As [F]he lays in [G]his stony [C]grave
Let's [F]drink one more [G]round
to our [Am]friend in [F]the grave
The [C]gunfight is gone,
but the [G]legend re[C]mains[Am][G][F][Am]
[G]Dry [C]tumbleweeds rol[G]l over his gra[Am]ve
[F]Chased by the [G]hot desert [C]wind
The afternoon trembles [G]under the [Am]sun
As the [F]wild [G]dust devils [C]spin
[G]Then [Am]twilight falls [G]once again
Moon[F]light, silver and [C]gold
The [Am]desert cools with the [G]fading sun
An[F]other day's grown [G]cold
And the legend grows [C]old
So [F]let's sing [G]a song for him [C]now, boys
As he [F]lays in his [G]stony [C]grave
Let's [F]drink one more [G]round
to our [Am]friend in [F]the ground
The [C]gunfight is gone,
but the [G]legend re[C]mains
[F]Let's sing a [G]song for him [C]now, boys
As he [F]lays in his [G]stony [C]grave
Come on, [F]drink one more [G]round
to our [Am]friend in [G]the ground[F]
The [C]gunfight is gone,
but the [G]legend [C]remains
The gunfight is gone,
but the [G]legend remain[Am]s[Asus4][Am][Asus4]
