[A] [Am]
[Gb] 50 miles [Em] from Dakota territory, [C] a giant [D] scalping [G] on [Am] this belt.
Found him alone, [Em] washing in the blue hall.
[C]
Steady [Bm] aim and a bag [Am] to scape.
[Dm] Nielsen [D] falls [A] without contest.
[Dm] Here's a beating [A] darkness, [G]
he will not [Am] return.
[A] [C]
[Am] White Cadillac, [Em] white man at the wheel.
[G] White [C] faces on [E] the mountain, [G]
[Am] wounds that'll never heal.
Black clouds overhead, [Em] old man says, looks like rain.
[G]
[C] These roads once [E] stood black in the [G] sun, [Am] says South Dakota, USA.
[E] The [Dm] rasping stretch of the [Am] horizon, [G] [Dm]
not a soul can be [Am] found on it.
[G] Mmm, they will not [Am] return.
[Bb] [C]

[Am]
Old rusted pickup and a [Em] mad dog in the yard.
[C] Purple paint [E] peels but fails to reveal [Am] the bitterness that [A] glows inside.
[Am]
Cloud of dust in the distance, [Em] strange knock beneath my hood.
[C] Better to have words [E] left unsaid than to [Am] have words misunderstood.
[Dm]
Nielsen falls [Am] without contest.
[Dm] Here's a beating [Am]
darkness, [G]
he will [Am] return.
[G]
I know he will [Am] return.
