Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Boots and
(G major) Stetson and six (D major) guns
and lilies (G major) grow (D major) high
They (A major) grow (D major) for a (G major) man with a
(D major) gun slinging hand (G major)
That be (D major) fore his time (G major) must (D major) die (A major) (D major)
They (B flat major) grow in the trail he has (D major) traveled
A (B flat major) trail well spattered with (D major) lead
They (B flat major) weep for the graves
of the (D major) many men
They (B flat major) weep for the men now (D major) dead (A major) (D major)
He rides along (G major) lonely, no friends (D major)
but (G major) only the (D major) lilies growing (G major) high (D major)
All (A major) (D major) men seem to (G major) fear him,
not (D major) one will go (G major) near him,
and he (D major) knows the (G major) reason why. (D major)
His name (B flat major) and fame spread before (D major) him
like (B flat major) a carpet of death, he knows.
(D major) One day (B flat major) he'll be slow on the draw (D major)
And then for (B flat major) him a lily will (D major) grow (B flat major) (D major)
(A major) A (D major) woman may love (G major) him
Though she (D major) knows soon (G major) above him
The (D major) lily's (G major) growing high (D major)
Then like the (E minor) lily
She'll (F sharp minor) bow down her head (E minor)
Bow down (D major) her fore (E minor) head and (F sharp minor) cry (D major)
On some (B flat major) boot hill they (D major) will lay him
And a headboard (B flat major) will sway in the (D major) wind
A (B flat major) lily will nod an (D major) d gently weep
For (B minor) an other (B flat major) gunman's end
Boot (D major) s and (G major) stetson and six (D major) guns
And (G major) the lilies grow hot
