Intro:

C

Verse 1:
C                                               F
Under an orange sky a cowboy rides south in the desert
                                               C
With only his rifle, his horse, and a photo of Jane
                                                 F
She was the only one he'd ever loved but he left her
    G                                                  C
And thirteen reasons why, were all catching up to him today

Chorus:
C                F
He said I can't hold you now
                 C
Tonight I can't see you darling
      G
But I know that we both will be
                     C
Dancing together one day
Verse 2:
C                                                         F
His right was heavy with the gun that he carried and the weight of the world
                                                C
From El Paso to Houston, every town knew him by name
                                                 F
But a man's reputation lasts only as long as his bullets
G                                               C
And he counted thirteen banditos all riding his way

Chorus:
C                F
He said I can't hold you now
                 C
Tonight I can't see you darling
         G
There's thirteen banditos
                       C
Keeping me out on the road again
                F
He said I can't hold you now
              C
I may not be near you darling
       G                                              C
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day

Verse 3:
C
For three hundred miles they had chased him
F                              C
But he knew that he could not escape
                                G
They had come to atone for his sins
         F
And the lives he had claimed
C                                                    F
So he thought of his lover as he counted the bullets beside him
          G                                    C
And with only a dozen, loaded the chamber and sing

Chorus:
C                F
He said I can't hold you now
                 C
Tonight I can't see you darling
         G
There's thirteen banditos
                       C
Keeping me out on the road again
                F
He said I can't hold you now
              C
I may not be near you darling
       G                                              C
But I know that we both will be dancing together one day
