Verse 1
D 
Where does a restless and
G 
wanted man go
D 
A 
Wandering the badlands of New Mexico
G 
I've roamed these hillsides
D 
a lifetime it seems
G 
D 
A 
Trying to stay out of their bullet range
D 
How long can I keep on
G 
dodging this way
D 
Knowing they're searching
A 
for me night and day
G 
D 
I hear the shouting of cowboys below
G 
D 
Just one wrong move and they'll get me,
I know
E 
Don't know what made
A 
me do that awful thing
E 
A 
And  if they catch me, I know I will swing
D 
G 
A moment of madness I couldn't control
D 
Killed a young lad only
A 
eighteen years old
G 
D 
I left the scene in the dark I was gone
G 
But the next morning the
D 
A 
D 
big search was on
I keep remembering the
G 
look on his face
D 
A 
Something I know time will never erase
G 
What made young Billy think
D 
he could outdraw
G 
One for so long that's
A 
been wanted by law
D 
Trying to prove he could
G 
make a big name
D 
A 
D 
Killing the one man who
A 
had so much fame
G 
He lies back there in a
D 
small Texas town
G 
While the town posse
D 
keeps closing around
E 
Now there's a weak,
A 
empty feeling inside
E 
A 
Both cold and hungry, I must try to ride
D 
G 
I hear a rifle, there's someone ahead
D 
Guess it's all over,
A 
this life that I've led
G 
Just couldn't make it,
D 
A 
though I did my best
D 
G 
The search has ended
D 
and now I can rest
A 
Now I can rest
