Intro 1
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 1
Broth (G major) ers run wild
(D major) as (C major) the spring rains at (D major) winter
Foaming and raging your
(C major) way to the (D major) sea (D minor)
(D major) Across (G major) the dial even (D major) ing
(C major) and no one would no (D major) tice
No one would know
but the (C major) preacher and (D major) me
Six (G major) teen days (D major) of ridin',
(D minor) push (C major) in' on that (D major) mule train
Two hundred rifles for sad (C major) time to (D major) spend
That preacher (G major) talk (D major) in' about
(C major) freedom and justice
(D major) By takin' the coin
from the high (C major) bidder's (D major) hand
He (G major) said, change is (D major) a welcome
and a (E minor) wondrous thing
(D major) Only (G major) the truest (D major) inten (C major) tions will (D major) win
Trade (G major) them up even (D major) an (E minor) eye for (D major) an eye
(D minor) The faster (D major) you live, hell,
(C major) the faster you die (D major) (D minor) (D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (D minor)
Rode (G major) on before (D major) me,
blowin' (C major) the moon (D major) light
Peacefully swayin' to some old
(C major) gospel tun (D major) e (D minor)
(D major) Lay (G major) down my hand,
(D major) cross the grain (C major) of my rifle
(D major) Let a river before me,
my (C major) chance comin' (D major) soon
I'd (G major) keep him around (D major) till
we fall (C major) in the wa (D major) ter
I'd lead him around
till we (C major) made the other side (D major)
An (D minor) d I'd (G major) shoot me a (D major) hole
in that glow (C major) in the moon (D major) light
Say a prayer for the preacher
at (C major) the end of his ride (D major)
He said, (G major) change is a (D major) welcome
and a (E minor) wondrous thing
(D major) Only (G major) the truest (D major) intention (C major) s will (D major) bring
You (G major) trade them up even (D major)
an (E minor) eye for an (D major) eye
The faster you live, hell,
the faster (C major) you (D major) die (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) He turned and he smiled
(D major) as we (C major) pushed the mules
deep (D major) er (D minor)
(D major) Spurred his horse,
swam across, (D minor) (D major)
(C major) stood waiting on the (D major) bank (D minor)
(D major) Made (G major) it halfway,
(D major) saw (C major) the flash of his rifle
(D major) My (D minor) leg (D major) burned like fire,
my horse (C major) kicked and (D major)
Kick (G major) ing and turn (D major) ing in
(C major) that old muddy wa (D major) ter
Going down, coming up,
go (C major) ing (D major) down again (D minor)
I (G major) swear to this day (D major) was that
(C major) river that saved (D major) me
Swept me away from (C major) that
preacher's killing (D major) hand
He said, (G major) change is (D major) a welcome
and a (E minor) wondrous thing
(D major) Only (G major) the truest (D major) inten (C major) tions will (D major) bring
Train (G major) them up even (D major) an (E minor) eye for an (D major) eye
The faster you live, hell,
(G major) the (C major) faster you (D major) die (D minor) (D major) (Dsus4) (D major) (D minor) (D major) (D minor)
Now (D major) that (G major) Brazos ran wild
as (D major) the spring (C major) rains had (D minor) left her
Foaming (D major) and raging her (C major) way to the (D major) sea
Across (G major) her that evening
(D major) no (C major) one would (D minor) no tice
No (D major) one would know
but the (C major) preacher and (D major) me (D minor) (D major)
I said no one would know
but preach (C major) er and (D major) me
