Intro 1
(C major)
Verse 1
(C major) All night long I tried to sleep but
sleep (F major) refused to (C major) come
Cause today I knew I'd either
(F major) have to fight or (C major) run
(F major) Knowin' if I choose (G major) to run my
(F major) mind would never (C major) rest
Cause with so much pride I wear
this (F major) badge upon my (C major) vest

Verse 2
(C major) Folks are filled with fear because
there's three (F major) bad guns in town (C major)
Sheriff Olsen made the wrong
move (F major) and they shot him (C major) down
(F major) One they called Dakota (G major) Jack
and (F major) one El Paso (C major) Red
The other just turned twenty and
he's (F major) called the Killer Kid
(C major)
Verse 3
(C major) Good advice I get and that's
to (F major) leave and run away (C major)
But my pride and badge I wear
won't let (F major) me live this (C major) way
And (F major) if I stay the three (G major) have bragged
they'll (F major) add me to their list (C major)
But I have a different aim and
(F major) I don't aim to (C major) miss
Verse 4
(C major) From the doorway where I stand
I see (F major) the outlaws three (C major)
Worried none because they know
the town's (F major) not helpin' (C major) me
(F major) From a hundred yards (G major) away
I try (F major) a lucky shot (C major)
Luck is with me and Dakota
Jack (F major) dies on the spot
(C major) (D flat major)
Verse 5
Well a kid runs through the barroom door
and (G flat major) Red goes up the stairs (D flat major)
The Kid is ragin' mad,
he's breakin' (G flat major) bottles, kickin' chairs (D flat major)
(G flat major) And from a roof El Paso (A flat major) Red
has (G flat major) vowed to pay me (D flat major) back
As he views the lifeless body (G flat major) of Dakota Jack
(D flat major)
Verse 6
(D flat major) I can see him as he jumps from
(G flat major) one roof to the next (D flat major)
Searchin' for me but he has
no (G flat major) idea where I'm (D flat major) at
(G flat major) But I watch his every (A flat major) move
I'm (G flat major) ready when he leaps (D flat major)
As I shoot him in mid air he
crashes (G flat major) to the street
(D flat major)
Verse 7
(D flat major) Now there's one against just one
I've (G flat major) evened up the score (D flat major)
Down the street I hear a yell come
(G flat major) through the barroom (D flat major) door
The Kid (G flat major) has screamed,
there's no (A flat major) way I can (G flat major) live unless I run (D flat major)
Said there ain't no lawdog man
enough (G flat major) to take his (D flat major) gun
Verse 8
Through (D flat major) the barroom door he
walks and steps (G flat major) out on the street (D flat major)
I can't match his draw,
he's much too fast (G flat major) for me to (D flat major) beat
And (G flat major) as I walk toward (A flat major) him we
both grab (G flat major) a forty-five
May (D flat major) be Maybe I will die today
and (G flat major) he will stay alive
Interlude 1
(D flat major) (D major)
Verse 9
(D major) Like a hammer somethin' hits
me spinnin' (G major) me around (D major)
As I fall I shoot him twice be
fore (G major) he hits the ground (D major)
His (G major) bullet missed me , still (A minor) I
feel a burnin' (G major) in my chest (D major)
His bullet hits the badge I wear
with pride (G major) upon my (D major) vest
Verse 10
(D major) As the people view the bodies
(G major) of the lifeless (D major) three
From their looks I know exactly
(G major) what they think (D major) of me
To them (G major) I'm just a killer (A minor) (A major) and
(G major) they could not care (D major) less
'Bout my pride or 'bout the
badge I (G major) wear upon (D major) my vest
