Verse:

      G
Rex Marksley at an younger age
                C
shot holes in cans without a missin'
                Am
sadly they were in the pantry
                G
so beans painted the whole darn kitchen
              G
His parents then let him shoot
              C
the empty cans out on their fence
              Am
but Rex trick shot out all the nails
              G
so out the fence all their cows went

His father cried!

Verse:

            G
Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
            C
an engineer extraordinaire
            Am
He made quick-reloading gadgets
            G
so he could fire non-stop with panache and flare
            G
He became a gun for hire
            C
and a hero whereever he roamed
            Am
he disarmed forty bandits one time
            C
with two gunshots all on his own

Verse:

 C       G            Em       C
He had heart and a righteous stand
 Em                    G      D        Em
and they tell of his stories across the land
 C              G         Em       C
He jammed the guns that fired his way
Em              G               D        Em
by shooting bullets into their barrels they say
 C                          G             D            Em
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention,
 Am                G           D                  Em
and zapped that evil demon train back to it's own dimension
 C                     G         D         Em
That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright,
 C                G             D    Em
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite
 C                         G                    D        Em
He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony,
 C                        G            D         Em
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

verse:

 C                  G                Em                    C
Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land
Em                     G                    D               Em
He tamed enormous vultures, reined and flew them with one hand
 C                           G          Em          C
All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye
Em                         G        D   Em
and the bad guys always fell to their demise
 C               G         Em               C
The man was a 🏷Legend and hero through and through
 Em                G            D              Em
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised
 C                      G         Em          C
He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days
 Em                 G                  D      Em
and he died an old man alone on the prairie they say
