Chambers chords by Ben Nichols
Guitar chords with lyrics
G C G
Born under a south Kentucky sky
G C G
He'd come west to Mexico to fight
C
1842 at Mier
G E
The gutters filled with blood and fear
G D G
Barely made it back to Texas alive
G C G
With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
G C G
In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
C

There he met his dark-eyed love
G E
But said good bye when the war was done
G D G
He swore that he'd come back for her again
C E G
Oh oh novia
C E D C
Oh oh your man is gone
C
Maybe he's in Texas
G E
But we'll take what God has left us
G D G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
G C G
Worked his way back to Old Mexico
G C G
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
C
Back to those same city walls
G E
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
G D G
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
G C G
They put him in a prison left alone
G C G
With other yankee fools so far from home
C
Parade them through the square in chains
G E
'Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
G D G
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
C E G
Oh oh novia
C E D C
Oh oh your man is gone
C
Maybe he's in Texas
G E
But we'll take what God has left us
G D G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
G C G
Glanton's men were killers all by trade
G C G
And through the prison bars a deal was made
C
Glanton needed three new men
G E
He hired the lovelorn veteran
G D G
The killers rode out through the governor's gates
G C G
The Veteran left camp 'fore the rising sun
G C G
No killer he'd left all their work undone
C
He was not yet two days out
G E
When Glanton's naked native scouts
G D G
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
C E G
Oh oh novia
C E D C
Oh oh your man is gone
C
Maybe he's in Texas
G E
But we'll take what God has left us
G D G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
C E G
Oh oh novia
C E D C
Oh oh your man is gone
C
Maybe he's in Texas
G E
But we'll take what God has left us
G D G
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
