[Em] [E]
[G]
[Bm] [E] I'm a long way from [F#m] home [E] I don't know where I'll go
[Bm] I ain't [G] slept in days [A] And the [E] water's running low
[Bm] Got [E] a posse at my [E] back And a bullet in my side
[Bm] Lord I gotta [G] keep on moving [A] Find a good [Em] place to hide
Well they tried to take me in Shooting down a man
He got what [G] he deserved [A] They'll have to catch me [Em] if they can
I feel [G] my blood [A] flowing colder [G] every day I know [D] that soon
[G] [A] This old body be laying [E] neat to [Bm] play I [Em] [D]
[Gm] [G] [A]
[Bm] [G] came home [E] from the range
And the moon was shining bright [Bm] Saw two [G] shadows moving
[A] Like [G] demons in the night I felt my body tremble
As I saw them lying there A stranger with my [A] wife
I drew the pistol [Em] that I went [E] And I feel [G] my blood [A] flowing colder [G]
every day
And I know that soon [A] This old body be laying [Bm] neat to play
I
[G] [D] [Am] [Em]
shot him in the [E] back As he was making for the door
I stood [G] over a man [A] That I knew I'd [E] seen before
[Bm] [E] His hand was on his chest [Em] And I knew I'd gone too far
[E] When I opened [D] up his [G] vest [A] [B] And I saw that [A] silver star
[D] I [Em]
[Bm] [G] feel
[D]
[Bm] [G] [D]
my [G] blood [A] flowing colder [Em] every day And I [G] know that soon
[A] This old body be laying [Em] neat to play And I feel [G] my blood [F#m] flowing colder every [Em] day
[G] And I know that [D] soon This old [A] body be laying [Bm] neat to play
