The Rope And The Colt chords by Scott Walker

Tuning: Standard EBGDAE

Difficulty: Novice

 Capo on the 3rd fret

Intro: Am D F G Am

Am         G     Am
 I seek the man who killed my friend
           G
 and when we meet my life may end
      F  G    C
 my life depends upon my gun
    D     F
 and my gun spells hope
    G       F      Em    Am
 in the land where the rope and the colt are king

Am D F G Am

I swore a vow on my dyin' breath
 to ride a trail that ends in death
 and death could strike with a frightening jolt of a lightning bolt in
 the land where the rope and the colt are king

Am     F     G    C  G
 But oh my darlin' if I should die
Am       F       G  F      Em    F
 there's not a soul who will ever know that I loved you so
     Em   Am
 was the reason why

The days are dust and the nights are black
 but oh my darlin' if I get back
 I'll trade my gun for a weddin' ring and I'll turn my hand
 to the land where the rope and the colt are king
