_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
You never do [C] that. _ _ _ _
_ _ He got mad. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] He threw his badge [F] on the floor.
[G] He walked out.
_ _ _ [F] He's gonna [G] give [C] it a try.
_ _ [F] _ He left [C] no doubt. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Must [F] be mad.
[C] _ _ _
He must be mad. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
The people wished him [F] well and [C] good luck.
_ Well, I [F] don't need it.
[C] He lied.
He got _ [F] on his horse and rode [C] away.
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ [Cm] Out on the trail, even his crew were on fire.
Well, trying their best to keep the cattle [C] alive.
The weather was hot, so [Fm] were the men.
[Gm] Oh, I don't think any man will drive [Cm] this trip again. _
_ His horse was ready, sensing trouble ahead.
But the trouble didn't stop until a man who'd been [Fm] there.
A hoovering and a hurry, a passion and lies.
[D] Big and he's thin, won't you buy [C] no smile?
He didn't try.
_ _ He was _ scared. _
_ Richard was scared. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ [C]
A lot they called [F] him lucky, [G] but not [C]
today.
_ [G] Cause he died like [C] all the cowboys.
_ [F] With his boots on, next [C] to his name.
_ _ [Bb] Big Jim, he still [C] won't lie down. _ _ _ _
For [Bb] him, _ [F] the [C] bet is still on.
Some say [Gm] he lies there. _
_ _ [C] Cursing still, some say they've [Gm] seen him.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
