[Dm] In the southern part of Texas, east [C] and west of El [Am] Paso, where the mighty Franklin Mountains
[Dm] guard the trail to Mexico.
There's a new maid with a cryin' [C] and a hearse a-rollin' slow.
[Am] I guess that devil's passed this way again.
[Dm] There's a ladder swarm [C] staggin' runnin' through the [Am] Joshua Tree, and a young man in the saddle
with his [Dm] coattails in the [Dm] breeze.
He's got a six-gun on his right hip [C] and a rifle at his [Am] knees, and he's dealin' in a
game that he can't win.
[C]
[Dm] Poor Billy Bonny, [C] you're only twenty-one.
[C] That guy's got your name on every [Am] bullet in his gun.
[Dm] He's not scarred on a six [C]-gun, has a bloody tail to [Am] tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett, and it's outside [Dm] of hell.
[C]
[Em] [B] [Dm] Them fancy clothes you're wearin' [C] and the women in your [Am] bed can't take away the faces
of the men that you've left dead.
As you ride across the [C] badlands with a price upon your head, [Am] and now the wheel of fortune
[Em] starts to turn.
[Dm]
Your reputation's [C] grown to lift the biggest in the land, [Em] and there ain't a lot of people
[Dm] left who wanna call your hands.
And I guess we'll go down shootin', [C] and like all grand men, [Am] when you shake hands with the
[D] devil, you get burned.
[Dm] Poor Billy Bonny, you're only [D] twenty [Bb]-one.
That guy's got your name on [Am] every bullet in his gun.
[Dm] He's not scarred on a [C] six-gun, has a bloody tail [Am] to tell.
You're a mile ahead of Garrett, and it's [Dm] outside of hell.
