Intro 1
(A minor)
Verse 1
As a young (A minor) man I was
(G major) raised by men of the cloth (A minor)
And I was (F major) tought to judge (G major) men
equal and (A minor) not to find their faults
Until one day I wit (G major) nessed
a tragic thing (A minor) (F major)
The men lay on (G major) the church steps, (A minor) slain
And when the smoke cleared a tall
(G major) man holstered his (A minor) gun (F major)
The bright day ended (G major) and
a cloud (A minor) did cover the sun
I found hate in my heart that I'd
(G major) never known before (A minor) (F major)
I'll see this man (G major) hang and if that's
(A minor) the one thing that I know for sure (F major)

And without a flick (G major) of the eyes
(A minor) he went for his gun
And as I caused a fight tears (G major)

When he collapsed (G major) before me I
(A minor) dropped my gun an sighed
