(A minor) (A minor) (E major) (A minor)
Verse 1
To the town (C major) of Agua Fria
rode a stranger (A minor) one fine day
Hardly (C major) spoke to folks around him,
didn't have too much to (A minor) say
No one (F major) dared to ask his business,
no one (C major) dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them
had a (A minor) big iron on his hip
(F major) Big iron on his (C major) hip

Verse 2
It was early (C major) in the morning
when he rode (A minor) into the town
He came riding (C major) from the south side,
slowly lookin' all around (A minor)
"He's an outlaw (F major) loose and runnin'",
came the (C major) whisper from each lip
"And he's here to do some business
with a (A minor) big iron on his hip"
(F major) "Big iron on his (C major) hip"
Verse 3
In this town (C major) there lived an outlaw
by the (A minor) name of Texas Red
Many men (C major) had tried to take him
and that many men were (A minor) dead
He was (F major) vicious and a killer,
though a (C major) youth of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered
one (A minor) and nineteen more
(F major) One and nineteen (C major) more
Verse 4
Now the stranger (C major) started talkin'
made it (A minor) plain to folks around
Was an Arizona (C major) ranger,
wouldn't be too long in (A minor) town
He came (F major) here to take an outlaw
back alive (C major) or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter
he was after (A minor) Texas Red
(F major) After Texas (C major) Red
Verse 5
Wasn't long (C major) before this story was
relayed (A minor) to Texas Red
But the outlaw (C major) didn't worry,
men that tried before were (A minor) dead
Twenty men (F major) had tried to take him,
twenty men (C major) had made a slip
Twenty one would be the ranger
with the (A minor) big iron on his hip
(F major) Big iron on his (C major) hip
Verse 6
The (C major) morning passed so quickly
it was time (A minor) for them to meet
It was (C major) twenty past eleven
when they walked out in the (A minor) street
Folks were (F major) watchin' from the windows
Every (C major) body held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was
a (A minor) bout to meet his death
A (F major) bout to meet his (C major) death
Verse 7
There was (C major) forty feet between them
When they (A minor) stopped to make their play
And the (C major) swiftness of the Ranger
is still talked about today (A minor)
Texas (F major) Red had not cleared leather
for a (C major) bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly,
with the (A minor) big iron on his hip
(F major) Big iron on his (C major) hip
Verse 8
It was (C major) over in a moment
and the (A minor) folks had gathered 'round
There be (C major) fore them lay the body
of the outlaw on the ground (A minor)
Oh, he (F major) might have went on livin'
but he made (C major) one fatal slip
When he tried to match the ranger
with the (A minor) big iron on his hip
(F major) Big iron on his (C major) hip (C7)
Big (F major) iron, big (C major) iron
When he tried (C major) to match the ranger
with the (A minor) big iron on his hip
(F major) Big iron on his (C major) hip
(A minor) (A minor) (A minor) (A minor)
