Chords with lyrics

G+G       C majorC       G+G
Born under a south Kentucky sky
G+G         C majorC     G+G
He'd come west to Mexico to fight
C majorC
1842 at Mier
   G+G         E MajorE
The gutters filled with blood and fear
G+G        D MajorD       G+G
Barely made it back to Texas alive

   G+G       C majorC           G+G
With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
   G+G    C majorC        G+G
In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
C majorC
There he met his dark-eyed love
   G+G           E MajorE
But said good bye when the war was done
  G+G          D MajorD       G+G
He swore that he'd come back for her again

C majorC E MajorE   G+G
Oh oh novia
C majorC  E MajorE    D MajorD    C majorC
Oh oh your man is gone
C majorC
Maybe he's in Texas
      G+G        E MajorE
But we'll take what God has left us
      G+G       D MajorD        G+G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn

G+G          C majorC     G+G
Worked his way back to Old Mexico
   G+G         C majorC        G+G
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
C majorC
Back to those same city walls
   G+G          E MajorE
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
   G+G         D MajorD       G+G
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
   G+G       C majorC      G+G
They put him in a prison left alone
   G+G      C majorC         G+G
With other yankee fools so far from home
  C majorC
Parade them through the square in chains
 G+G          E MajorE
'Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
 G+G         D MajorD        G+G
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold

C majorC E MajorE   G+G
Oh oh novia
C majorC  E MajorE    D MajorD    C majorC
Oh oh your man is gone
C majorC
Maybe he's in Texas
      G+G         E MajorE
But we'll take what God has left us
      G+G       D MajorD        G+G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn


 G+G         C majorC       G+G
Glanton's men were killers all by trade
   G+G         C majorC        G+G
And through the prison bars a deal was made
 C majorC
Glanton needed three new men
  G+G         E MajorE
He hired the lovelorn veteran
   G+G        D MajorD           G+G
The killers rode out through the governor's gates


   G+G      C majorC          G+G
The Veteran left camp 'fore the rising sun
  G+G             C majorC    G+G
No killer he'd left all their work undone
 C majorC
He was not yet two days out
   G+G       E MajorE
When Glanton's naked native scouts
    G+G       D MajorD            G+G
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun


C majorC E MajorE   G+G
Oh oh novia
C majorC  E MajorE    D MajorD    C majorC
Oh oh your man is gone
C majorC
Maybe he's in Texas
      G+G        E MajorE
But we'll take what God has left us
      G+G       D MajorD        G+G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn

C majorC E MajorE   G+G
Oh oh novia
C majorC  E MajorE    D MajorD    C majorC
Oh oh your man is gone
C majorC
Maybe he's in Texas
      G+G        E MajorE
But we'll take what God has left us
      G+G       D MajorD        G+G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
