That's One You Owe Me chords by Johnny Cash

Written my Mark D. Sanders - Covered by Johnny Cash

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS

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