Verse 1
(C minor) (C minor)
A (C minor) tall handsome stranger (F minor) rode into town (C minor)
With (F minor) fire in his eyes (C minor) burning (G major) red as sun (C minor) down

(F minor) Six ways of (C minor) dying hung (G major) low on his (C minor) side

He (C minor) went in the town hall (F minor) asking for me (C minor)
They (F minor) told me that I (C minor) was still (G major) town deputy (C minor)
I sent him to prison to pay (F minor) for his (C minor) crime
(F minor) He killed a guard (C minor) on the (G major) Sante Fe (C minor) line

He (C minor) spread word around town
that my (F minor) time had come (C minor)

Chorus 1
(A flat major) That night in silence the town (B flat major) was asleep
I (A flat major) sat by my window
and (E flat major) looked down the street
I (F minor) wished in my (G major) heart that he (C minor) just ride away
I (F minor) hated to (G major) face him next (C minor) sunup that day

I (C minor) met him at sunup,
the crowd (F minor) gathered round (C minor)
(F minor) Waitin and (C minor) watching for (G major) one to go down (C minor)

He (C minor) stood there a moment
and (F minor) looked all around (C minor)
(F minor) Slowly and (C minor) lifeless he (G major) fell to the (C minor) ground
The stranger's my brother, (F minor) born an out (C minor) law
He (F minor) must have for (C minor) gotton I (G major) taught him to (C minor) draw
Chorus 2
The (A flat major) whole town was waiting
and I (B flat major) was alone
The (A flat major) blood that I spilled was (E flat major) just like my own
When (F minor) she hears this (G major) story,
how (C minor) Mother will cry
(F minor) Brother 'gainst (G major) brother and (C minor) one had to die
To die, to die
[Fade out]
