Intro:
DmDm  C majorC  A minorAm
DmDm  C majorC  A minorAm
DmDm A minorAm FF N.C. G+G N.C.
DmDm N.C.

Verse 1:
DmDm                   C majorC
In the southern part of Texas, east and west of El Paso
     A minorAm                 DmDm
Where the mighty Franklin Mountains guard the trail to Mexico
                   C majorC
There's a new-made widow crying and a hearse a-rollin' slow
 A minorAm                 DmDm  FF
I guess the devil's passed this way again.

Verse 2:
     DmDm                C majorC
There's a lathered sorrel stallion running through the Joshua trees
   A minorAm                  DmDm
And a young man in the saddle with his coat tails in the breeze.
                     C majorC
He's got a six gun on his right hip and a rifle at his knees
     A minorAm               DmDm
And he's dealing in a game that he can't win.

Chorus:
DmDm            C majorC
Poor Billy Bonney, you're only 21,
  Bb majorBb                 FF     A minorAm
Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun.
   DmDm
Every notch you carve on your six gun
   C majorC
Has a bloody tale to tell.
     A minorAm N.C.                  DmDm
You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of Hell.

Interlude:
DmDm  C majorC  A minorAm  D MajorD

Verse 3:
   DmDm                  C majorC
Those fancy clothes you're wearin' and the women in your bed
   A minorAm             DmDm
Can't take away the traces of the men that you've left dead
                    C majorC
As you ride across the badlands with a price upon your head
  A minorAm                 DmDm  FF
And now the Wheel of Fortune starts to turn.

Verse 4:
   DmDm                C majorC
Your reputation's grown 'til it's the biggest in the land
     A minorAm               DmDm
And there ain't a lot of people left who want to call your hand
                    C majorC
And I guess you'll go down shootin' and like all branded men
     A minorAm                 DmDm
When you shake hands with the devil you get burned.

Chorus:
DmDm            C majorC
Poor Billy Bonney, you're only 21,
  Bb majorBb                 FF     A minorAm
Pat Garrett's got your name on every bullet in his gun.
   DmDm
Every notch you carve on your six gun
   C majorC
Has a bloody tale to tell.
     A minorAm N.C.                  DmDm
You're a mile ahead of Garrett and a step outside of Hell.
