Verse 1
(D major) (A flatdim) (G major) Once a marshal had a daughter,
A pretty, (C major) winsome daugh (G major) ter,
And he brung her up as best
as he know'd (D major) how.
What the man (G major) knew
killed her mother
more (C major) than any oth (G major) er
The marshal swore to (D major) get
by prayer and vow (G major)
Oh, my charming (C major) daughter,
with (G major) eyes like deep water
There's starlight in your hair
most every (D major) night
Though you've (C major) been a heap of joy,
how I wish (G major) you'd have been a boy,
cause I know there's gonna
be an awful fight.
Now they sure Marshal's daughter
done everything (C major) she'd (G major) ordered
to help her pappy keep the peace and (D major) law.
Till she spotted (G major) Trigger Gann,
that no (C major) -good killin' (G major) man
The one that years before (D major)
had killed her ma (G major)
Well, (D major) (G major) that evenin' just at midnight,
that (C major) sorry, starry mid (G major) night
The marshal with his guns
a -swingin' (D major) low
Went out (G major) to do some prowlin'
While the (C major) coyotes they was a (G major) -howlin'
And these words up on his lips
(D major) came mighty slow (G major)
Oh, (C major) my charming daughter,
with (G major) eyes like deep water
The starlight in your hair
most every night (D major)
Oh, you've (C major) been a heap of joy,
how I wish (D major) (G major) you'd have been a boy
Cause I know there's gonna
(D major) be (C major) an awful (G major) fight
Trigger Gan, the banker was robbin',
the (C major) little gal was sob (G major) bin'
There weren't no smiles
on no (D major) (G major) one's face that night (D major)
If she'd (G major) only been a man,
she'd have (C major) got that trigger gand (G major)
And saved her poor old
(D major) pappy from this fire (G major)
Oh, (C major) my charming daughter,
with (D major) eye (G major) s like deep water
The starlight in your hair
most every night (D major)
Oh, you've (C major) been a heap of joy,
how I wish (G major) you'd have been a boy
Cause I know there's gonna
be (C major) an awful fight (G major)
I know there's gonna be
(D major) an aw (D major) ful (E flat major) fight
(D major) (G major)
