Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
They sent me out from
G 
Santa Fe to try and find his trail
D 
They think that I'm the only one
A 
who can bring him back to jail
D 
This star says I'm a lawman this
G 
gun has seen me through
And though my heart is heavy
D 
A 
D 
I've got a job to do
G 
You see he's such a proud man
D 
who never learned to crawl
But a good man turns gun slinger
A 
he's the meanest man of all
D 
He killed the US Marshall and for
G 
that he's gonna pay
D 
And I'm the lonely lawman who's
A 
on his trail today

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