Intro:

Bm                  G                 F#    Bm  F#  Bm
Throw up your hands       I want your guns


Verse 1:
Bm                             D
Vigil's words hung hard in the air
   A                                 Bm
As weathered coats flapped without a care
                                   D
Four men faced five, not a good ratio
               A                      Bm
In that narrow alley behind Fly's studio

Verse 2:
Bm                                D
Hard eyes locked across the dusty lot,
      A                                    Bm
Hands drifting near their pistols, fingers taut
                                          D
Each man could feel what was about to transpire
      A                            Bm
Their fates sealed in a barrage of gunfire


Pre-Chorus:
    Em                           Bm
The wind held its breath down on Fremont Street,
G          A          D
No turning back, no retreat
    Em                      Bm
One word, one draw, and the thunder would break,
G              F#              Bm
Thirty seconds to decide their fate


Chorus:
Bm                             D
Thirty seconds down on Fremont Street,
          A                 Bm     Bm
Where the cowboys met their fate
                         D
“Get to fightin' or get away!”
A                       Bm
Wyatt Earp was heard to say
        G                          D
In that flash of iron and spite no man could turn away
        Em
Life or death was settled there,
      F#                           Bm
Their fates intertwined, come what may


Verse 3:
Bm                                     D
Hammers clicked back and fired under a sky so blue
      A                         G             Bm
Doc's coat flipped aside as his shotgun fired true
                                        D
Tom McLaury took the blast and stumbled back,
A                       G           Bm
Billy fired wild as the Earps fired back


Verse 4:
Bm                                       D
Doc stepped forward tossing the shotgun away,
      A                        Bm
Tom McLaury was now out of the fray
                                            D
Frank staggered back but kept squeezing off rounds,
    A                                Bm
Hit Virgil in the leg as Morgan went down


Verse 5:
Bm                                            D
Smoke filled the lot, bullets cut through the air,
           A                             Bm
Billy kept shooting from the ground in despair
                                    D
The thunder rolled on, no pause, no mercy,
      A                                Bm
Billy Claiborne fled despite the controversy


[Instrumerntal]
Bm  D  A  Bm


Verse 6:
Bm                                                  D
“I've got you now,” Frank grunted, aiming his final shot
                           A                            Bm
“Blaze away,” Doc answered cool, “you're a daisy if you do.”
                                D
Morgan hit Frank fatally in the brow
              A                   Bm
As Doc landed one more, his final bow.


Verse 7:
Bm                                          D
Billy, near lifeless, continued to fire his gun,
              A                          Bm
Chest full of lead, his death had just begun
                                  D
He fired once more into the smoky lot
          A                        Bm
Then fell silent, his life now for naught


Verse 8:
Bm                                          D
Five men lay in the dirt, either wounded or dead
      A                           Bm
Wyatt Earp stood calm, filling witnesses with dread
                                           D
Tom lingered the longest, then gave up the ghost,
             A                       Bm
The lot fell quiet, obscured with gunsmoke


Pre-Chorus:
    Em                           Bm
The wind held its breath down on Fremont Street,
G          A          D
No turning back, no retreat
    Em                      Bm
One word, one draw, and the thunder would break,
G              F#              Bm
Thirty seconds to decide their fate


Chorus:
Bm                             D
Thirty seconds down on Fremont Street,
          A                 Bm     Bm
Where the cowboys met their fate
                         D
“Get to fightin' or get away!”
A                       Bm
Wyatt Earp was heard to say
        G                          D
In that flash of iron and spite no man could turn away
        Em
Life or death was settled there,
      F#                           Bm
Their fates intertwined, come what may


Verse 9:
Bm                                          D
As the smoke faded away away the news would soar
            A                            Bm
Bodies were laid out at the undertaker's door
                                      D
Billy Clanton, the McLaury's laid out plain
         A                                     Bm
'Murdered in the streets', their sign would proclaim


Verse 10:
Bm                                       D
The inquest came, Judge Spicer heard the tale
            A                          Bm
Cleared the Earps and Doc, no murder unveiled
                                         D
But the hate ran deep, no peace would be found
       A                           Bm
Virgil ambushed, and Morgan gunned down


Verse 11:
Bm        G                          Bm
Wyatt and Doc rode out on a vendetta trail,
   G                                   F#
As Stilwell, Curly Bill and the others fell


Verse 12:
F3       Bm              D
Thirty seconds began the fight
             A                            G        A   Bm
Bringing the legend of Tombstone into the national spotlight
G                  A      Bm
Remember well that autumn day
G              A               Bm
Thirty seconds down on Fremont Street
G              A                      Bm
Thirty seconds    their echoes never sleep
