Am C G
The night they took him to the graveyard
Am C Em
It was moonlight; call of the wild
Am C G
They forced him to bury his father
Am C Em
Oh boy, he was only a child
Am C G
He grew older, meaner and vicious
Am C Em
And the glance of his eyes got malicious
Am C G
He thought about revenging his father
Am C Em
He sweared he would turn out as another

Am C G
He travelled on trail wide and narrow
Am C Em
He would draw and shoot at any shadow
Am C G
Checking the decks with his back to the wall
Am C Em
Hiding the tracks of his lonely call
Am C G
The blood on his hands was still dripping
Am C Em
Hunting by instinct and no sleeping
Am C G
He remembered the face of the gunman
Am C Em
Who slaughtered his dad the same evening
