Chords with lyrics

Written my Mark D. Sanders - Covered by Johnny Cash

VERSE 1
      BB             A augmentedA
There was a showdown at high noon reputations on the line
      BB                E MajorE
It was the good guys and the bad guys I was eight and he was nine
  E MajorE                A augmentedA
And I forgot to keep my back to the wall in Dodge that day
     BB                E MajorE
And from somewhere behind me I heard him say

CHORUS
        BB        E MajorE
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
    BB           E MajorE
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
    A augmentedA          E MajorE        A augmentedA
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
       BB        E MajorE
But just remember you owe me one"

VERSE 2
      BB          A augmentedA
It was high school and football on two different teams
   BB              E MajorE
I was good but he was better than I would ever be
  E MajorE                   A augmentedA
And when I finally crossed the goal line ahead of him that day
    BB                E MajorE
As the crowd was goin' wild I heard him say

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
    BB              A augmentedA
She was long and lean and pretty and soon to be his bride
     BB                 E MajorE
When she strayed into my arms one day with lovin' on her mind
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
Well I was almost tempted by her soft touch and her sigh
    BB                      E MajorE
But the next time I saw him I could look him in the eye
