[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Had dreams about the West and |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] started to roam |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Six long months on a |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] dust covered trail |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] They say heaven's at the end but so |

[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] from five to five |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Sellin' everything we found |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] just to stay alive |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Gold flowed free like the |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] whiskey in the bars |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and |

on the Perfect Fourth] Satan was the star |

[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Empty shells and blood lined the |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] gutters of the street |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Men were shot down for the |
[CMajor Chord (U,M3,P5)
on the Perfect Fourth] sake of fun |
[EmMinor Chord (U,m3,P5)
on the Major Sixth] Or just to hear the noise of their |
