There's a man who walks beside me, he is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pining for on nights I'm not around
[F#m] Could it be a [E] man who did the things I'm living now?
[A] [E] [A] [C#m]
I was rougher than the [B] timber she'd [E] been out upon to lack
[F#m] When I headed [E] south at seventeen, a new sheriff on my back
[C#m] I'd never held a [E] lover in my arms or in my gates
So [F#m] I found [E] another victim every couple days
[A] [E] [A] [C#m]
But the night I fell in [E] love with her, I made my weakness known
[F#m] To the fighters and [E] the farmers digging dusty fields alone
[C#m] The jealousy and you [E] and oh, all the lonely hearted men
Let me [F#m] know what [E] kind of country I was sleeping in
[A] [E] [C#m]
Well you couldn't stay a [E] loner on the plains before the war
[F#] When my neighbors [E] took to slighting me, I had to ask [A] what for
[C#m] Rumors of my [B] [E] wickedness had reached our little town
Soon [F#] she heard about [E] the boys I used to hang around
[A] [E] [A] [Em] [A] [C#m]
We'd robbed her great [G#m] legs, sprayed her [E] and killed a couple men aboard
When [F#m] I told her her [E] eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
[C#m] All the things that she'd suspected [E] I'd expected her to fear
[F#m] Was the truth that [E] drew her to me when I landed [A] here
[Em] [C#m]
There's a man who walks [B] beside me, [E] he is who I used to be
[F#m] I wonder if [E] she sees him and confuses him with me
[C#m] I wonder who she's [E] pining for all the nights I'm not around

[C#m] Well I carved her cross from [B] my [E] book and her box of shortleaf pine
[F#m] And buried her [E] so deep she touched the water table mine
[C#m] Then picked up what I needed [B] and [E] I headed south again
[F#m] To myself I [E] wondered would I ever find another friend
[A]
[C#m] There's a man who walks beside [E] her, he is who I used to be
