Verse 1
(C major) (Paul Siebel)
Verse 2
Those other years, the (C major) dusty years
We drove the big hers (D major) through
I tried (C major) to forget the miles we rode
And Spanish Johnny too (Dsus4) (D major)
He'd (C major) sit beside a water ditch
when all this herd was in (D major)
And he'd never (C major) harm a child
but sing (G major) to his man (D major) dolin

Verse 3
(D major)
The (C major) old talk, the old ways,
and the dealin' of our (D major) game
But Spanish (C major) Johnny never spoke,
but sing a song of Spain (D major)
And his (C major) talk with men was vicious talk
When he was drunk on (D major) gin
Ah, but (C major) those were golden things he said (G major) to
Interlude 1
his mandolin
(D major) (C major) (D major) (C major)
(G major) (A major) (C major) (D major)
(C major) (G major) (A major)
Verse 4
We (C major) had to stand, we tried to judge,
we had to stop him then (Dsus4) (D major)
For the (C major) hand so gentle to a child
had killed so many men (D major)
He died a hard (C major) death long ago
before the road come (D major) in
And the night (C major) before he swung
he sung (G major) to his mandolin
(D major)
Verse 5
Well, we (C major) carried him out in
the mornin' sun
A man that done no (Dsus4) good (D major)
And we (C major) lowered him down
in the cold clay
Stuck in a cross of (D major) wood
And a (C major) letter we wrote to his kinfolk
To tell them where he'd (Dsus4) been (D major)
And we shipped (C major) it out to Mexico,
along (G major) with his mandolin
Outro 1
