Verse 1
He rode (F major) into town one dust (E flat major) storm
Sheepskin (B flat major) cloak across his back (F major)
A preacher man with kind (E flat major) old eyes
And a (B flat major) mystery for a past (F major)
He said he'd (E flat major) come to teach about
The love of God (F major)
But (A flat major) he soon learned
what they were missing there
Was (C7) justice and the law

Verse 2
There was a (F major) cattleman who claimed (E flat major) his clan
Owned (B flat major) all the land (A flat major) around (F major)
And any brave fool that might (E flat major) dispute
He was (B flat major) quick to (A flat major) snuff 'em out (F major)
He'd say, (E flat major) "Take my heed
And you won't pay the price (F major)
'Cause (A flat major) honor and a name ain't worth a damn
If (C7) you don't have your life"
Chorus 1
'Cause (F major) "Ain't nobody faster
than this (C minor7) cattleman's gun
I'm a (B flat major) rattlesnake on the trig (F major) ger
Your last stand'll be lyin' (C minor7) in the sand
(B flat major) Fallin' to the (A flat major) slam of my ham (F major) mer"
(F major)
Verse 3
So (F major) one man taught forgive (E flat major) ness
While the (B flat major) other taught (A flat major) suf fering (F major)
The preacher said deliv (E flat major) erance
Could be (B flat major) found out on (A flat major) their knees (F major)
He'd say, (E flat major) "I know you want justice
And you want (F major) blood
But be (A flat major) lieve me when I say to you
Don't (C7) try be that man's judge
Chorus 2
'Cause (F major) "Ain't nobody faster
than that (C minor7) cattleman's gun
He's a (B flat major) rattlesnake on the trig (F major) ger
Your last stand'll be lyin' (C minor7) in the sand
(B flat major) Fallin' to the slam of his ham (F major) mer"

Verse 4
(F major) One day a young far (E flat major) mer
brought his (B flat major) sons to town (A flat major) for feed (F major)
And he noticed that the streets (E flat major) were quiet,
and he (B flat major) knew what that (A flat major) might mean (F major)
The (E flat major) smoke rose in the distance
His farm burned (F major) to the ground
He let the (A flat major) fury overtake him
When (C7) cattleman came back to town
Bridge 1
Those (F major) boys ran out from behind (C minor7) the crowd
And (B flat major) watched their daddy die (F major)
The big man laughed and said,
"Now look at (C minor7) that
Anybody else (B flat major) wanna give it a try?" (F major)
Well, the church doors opened
With that black (C minor7) cloak flowin'
behind the (B flat major) preacher's fiery eyes (F major)
He said, "Your ticket to Hell is a comin' to you
And I got a (C7) hollow-point to give you the ride"
Chorus 3
And the (F major) only thing faster
than the (C minor7) cattleman's gun
Was the (B flat major) preacher man's handy fin (F major) ger
He pulled iron from his side
and let that (C minor7) bullet fly
Beat the (B flat major) rattlesnake to the ham (F major) mer
Outro 1
Why the (F major) preacher embraced forgive (C minor7) ness
Oh, they (B flat major) finally un (A flat major) derstood (F major)
Under that sheepskin cloak (C minor7) of his
Was a (B flat major) history (A flat major) of blood (F major)
