_ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well I'm far away from home, _ [Bm] neither _ [G] _ _
_ [D] family nor friends.
I've [G] never been to [Bm] states so long, _ [E] and I'm [A] a very [D] poor man.
_ Three years ago, I fell in a job, _ [F#m] I saw [Bm] the _ [G] _
world, my [D] body's home. _
[G] Riding drag, on a dusty [Bm] mile, _ I knew [A] I'd work. _
Within a three [D] mile, _ _ time has got hard, Christ's time has got me.
[G] _ I fell in _ _ the [D] district, _ _ [G] knowing I had [Bm] the worst of it.
They never [A] _
would, and [D] I'm so afraid. _ _

_ [G] I _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
did not like such wicked talk, _ _ [A] [Bm] murder _ [G]
and cold [D] robbery. _
I [G] told those men [Bm] that I was lost, [A] they all aimed their [D] guns at me.
Their prisoner I felt, for I was pained.
And [G] much told, _ he [D] didn't think, they [G] shot a boy, _ just for [Bm] the sport.
[A] I stood and watched, _ his young [D] wife wait, to stretch the _ sounds I'd never heard.
His [Bm] mother [G] swam and [D] filled the room, [G] she looked at me, and [Bm] sang these words.
The [A] devil's faith, he [D] defeated your truth. _ _

_ [D] _ _ I came to faith, and my history, I [Bm] shot him dead, [G] _ _
I killed [D] all four. _ _
[G] And the _ [Em] only [Bm] thing I knew, _ [Em] had not gone, had [D] been for me.
Well, if I still found me outside of town, _ [Bm] cause I was [G] _ _
_ pained and [D] there to pray.
My [G] gal was high, _ I'm too [Bm] laid down.
_ In the [A] dark, _ in the [D] Missouri gray, _ inside the road, stays Grandma and Dad.
_ [G] When the _ _ _ world [D] sees me dead, [G] please don't let [Bm] my brothers take that [A] faithful [E] path.
I chose [D] the [G] trail, [Bm] I am far _ away from [D] home.
_ In that _
[G] _ _ family, [D] no friend, I [G] never knew, in [Bm] the face of all.
_ [A] _ _
_ The [D] Missouri borderline.
[G]
And now I'll spend, _ [Bm] eternity, _ [E] in [A] the Missouri _ _ [D] borderline. _
