_ [Db] Plainly it showed [B] in
the way that he rode in.
[Db] This man was a ranger, ranger, ranger. _ _ _
_ [B] Everyone watched as he climbed from his horse [Db] and walked by. _ _
_ Every eye [Ab] dropped through the

_ _ [Db] _
[Ab] The silence was broken, the ranger had spoken, [A] and these were
[Ab] _
his words.
[Db] I've trailed an outlaw [Gbm] for thirty-six days, [Db] I'm twenty hours [Abm] behind him.
_ [Db] He's here
in town so [B] I'll just be around, _ [Db] [Abm] long as it takes me [F] to find him, find [Db] him, find him. _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ Slowly he turned and [C] he looked down the street, [D] then he looked back to [C] the crowd.
_ [D] Something
about him [Em] left no room to doubt him.
[D] He spoke [C] very little, [D] but [Em] loud, but loud, [D] but loud. _ _ _
_ If it is pity you [C] have for my size, [D] save it, don't waste it [C] my friend.
_ [D] This equalizer [C] I
have on my hip [D] makes me [C] as big [D] as the next man, next man, next man. _ _
_ [A] Then from the door came a person they knew [D] at a _ glance. _
[Am] The outlaw had stepped through
the street to begin [D] his advance. _ _
_ [Gm] Women [D] grabbed children, men grabbed their wives and they
[Bb] ran from [A] the street.
_ [D] Even the soft [C] little breeze became still, [D] death had a minute [C] to

_ [Dm] Two hands would die [C] for a coat forty-five, [D] one hand [G] would come up too late, [C] too late,
[D] too late. _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Go for your gun [Ab] was the outlaw's remark, [Eb] tomorrow you'll sleep [Db] beneath the
stone.
[Eb] The ranger replied [Fm] there'll be plenty of time [Eb] after you go for your own, your own,
_ your own. _
_ All of a sudden it [Db] happened, _ [Eb] both of them grabbed [Db] for a gun, _ [Eb] both clearing leather,
[Db] both fired together.
[Eb] Everyone thought it was one gun, one gun, one gun. _ _
[Ab] A [Db] forty-five slug
hit the outlaw and spun [Ab] him around.
_ _ [Gb] _
_ His life was over, he died on his way to the [Cm] ground. _ _ _
_ [Db] You are surprised, we watched as the ranger took [B] one [Bb] hard right step.

[Fm] and fell to the [Eb] ground.
A [Bb] bullet was deep [Fm] in his side.
