|E minorEm             |C majorC       |E minorEm              |
 Took my fam'ly away from my? Carolina home? Had dreams about the West and?

|C majorC        |E minorEm          |C majorC          |
? started to roam? Six long months on a dust? covered trail?

|E minorEm                  |C majorC               |
 They say heaven's at the end, but so far it's been hell? And there's?

|E minorEm              |C majorC         |E minorEm              |
 We were diggin' and siftin'? from five to five? sellin' everything we found?

|C majorC         |E minorEm            |C majorC          |
 just to stay alive? Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars?

|E minorEm                  |C majorC                |
 Sinnin' was the big thing, Lord, and? Satan was his star? And there's?

 Dance hall girls were the? evenin' treat?

|E minorEm                  |C majorC           |
 Empty cartridges and blood? lines the gutters of the street?

|E minorEm             |C majorC       |
 Men were shot down for the? sake of fun,?

|E minorEm                 |C majorC              |
 or just to hear the noise of their? forty four guns? And there's?

 she couldn't save? Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame?

|E minorEm               |C majorC              |
 all for a useless and no good,? worthless claim? And there's?
