Verse 1
D 
They sent  (D major) me out from
G 
Santa Fe to try and find his trail  (G major) 
D 
They think that I'm the  (D major) only one
A 
who can bring him back to jail  (A major) 
D 
This star  (D major) says I'm a lawman this
G 
gun has seen me through  (G major) 
And though my heart is heavy
D 
A 
D 
 (D major) I've  (A major) got a job to do  (D major) 
G 
You see  (G major) he's such a proud man

who nev (D major) er learned to crawl
But a good man turns gun slinger

he's the meanest man of all  (A major)

Verse 2
D 
There  (D major) was a time he fought for
G 
true and on the side  (G major) of right
D 
Until the only  (D major) girl he loved
A 
was killed one faithful  (A major) night
D 
I  (D major) know his heart was shattered as
G 
he turned the barren  (G major) sod
D 
And laid away her  (D major) body come
A 
D 
G 
 (A major) ending into God  (D major)  (G major) 
Then he vowed a revenge to
D 
those  (D major) who took her life
And every notch upon his gun
A 
a tear shed for his wife  (A major) 
D 
But re (D major) venge is like wild fire
G 
sweepin' through the wood  (G major) 
D 
It turns reason into  (D major) ashes and
A 
D 
it  (A major) burns out on the good  (D major) 
G 
Now  (G major) I  can't help but remember
D 
as I trail  (D major) this lonesome man
I don't believe while we were
A 
boys out of any race we  (A major) ran
D 
For you see  (D major) his face resembles mine
G 
we talk somewhat the same  (G major) 
D 
And though we walk in  (D major) different world
A 
D 
we both  (A major) wear our daddy's name  (D major)
