[Dm] [C] [Db]
[Dm] [C] [Am]
[D] [F] [G]
[D]
In [Dm] the southern part of Texas, [C] east and west of El [Am] Paso, where the mighty Franklin Mountains
[Dm] guard the trail to Mexico.
There's a new-made widow crying [C] and a hearse a-rolling slow.
[Am] I guess that devil's passed his way again.
[Dm] There's a lathered Saul [C] stagging, running through the Joshua [Am] trees, and a young man
in the saddle [Dm] with his coattails in the breeze.
He's got a six-gun on his right hip [C] and a rifle at his knees, [Am] and he's dealing in a
[D] game that he can't win.
[C]
[Dm] Poor Billy Bonny, you're only 21.
[Bb] That guy's got your name on every bullet in his [Dm] gun.
He's not your carved-on-your-six-gun, [C] has a bloody tale to tell.
[Am] You're a mile ahead of Garrett, [Dm] and a step outside of hell.
[C]
[Am] [B] Them [Dm] fancy clothes you're wearing [C] and the women in your bed [Am] can't take away the faces
of the men that you've left dead.
As you ride across the [C] badlands with a price upon your head, and [Am] now the wheel of fortune
[Em] starts to turn, [Dm] your reputation's [C] grown so it's the biggest in the land, [Am] and there ain't
a lot of people [Dm] left who won't call your hand.
And I guess you'll go down shooting, [C] kind of like all the random men, [Am] when you shake
hands with the devil, [D] you get burned.
[F] [Dm] Poor Billy Bonny, you're only 21.
[Bb] That guy's got your name on [F] every bullet in his gun.
[Dm] He's not your carved-on-your-six [C]-gun, has a bloody tale [Am] to tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett, and a step [Dm] outside of hell.
