Chords with lyrics

Chorus:

E MajorE     F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m
Boots and Stetson and six guns

    F# minorF#m     E MajorE  F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
And the lilies grow high

   E MajorE      F# minorF#m    G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m
They grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand

    E MajorE    F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
Who before his time must die.


1/2 verse:

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
They grow in the trail he has traveled

 C majorC     A minorAm       E MajorE
A augmentedA trail well spattered with lead

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
They weep for the graves of the many

  C majorC         A minorAm   E MajorE
Men they weep for the men now dead.

Verse:

E MajorE     F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m
He rides along lonely, no friends

    F# minorF#m     E MajorE  F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
But only the lilies growin' high

   E MajorE      F# minorF#m    G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m
All men seem to fear him, not one will go near him

    E MajorE    F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
And he knows the reason why.

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
His name and fame spread before him

 C majorC     A minorAm       E MajorE
Like a carpet of death and he knows

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
One day he'll be slow on the draw

       C majorC    A minorAm   E MajorE
And then for him a lily will grow.

Verse:

E MajorE     F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m
A augmentedA woman may love him though she knows

    F# minorF#m     E MajorE  F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
Soon above him the lilies growin' high

   E MajorE      F# minorF#m    G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m
Then like the lily she'll bow down her head

    E MajorE    F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
Bow down her poor head and cry.

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
On some boothill they will lay him

 C majorC     A minorAm       E MajorE
And a headboard will sway in the wind

   C majorC      A minorAm      E MajorE
The lily will nod and gently weep

  C majorC         A minorAm   E MajorE
For another gunman's end.


Chorus:

E MajorE     F# minorF#m     G# minorG#m
Boots and Stetson and six guns

    F# minorF#m     E MajorE  F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
And the lilies grow high

   E MajorE      F# minorF#m    G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m
Boots and Stetson and six guns

    E MajorE    F# minorF#m   G# minorG#m F# minorF#m E MajorE
And the lilies grow high...
