[Intro 1]

[E][D][A][E]

[Verse 1]
He rode [E]into town one [D]dust storm
Sheepskin [A]cloak across his [E]back
A preacher man with [D]kind old eyes
And a [A]mystery for a [E]past
He said he'd [D]come to teach about
The love of [E]God
But [G]he soon learned
what they were missing there
Was [B]justice and the law

[Verse 2]
There was a [E]cattleman who [D]claimed his clan
Owned [A]all the [G]land a[E]round
And any brave fool that might [D]dispute
He was [A]quick to [G]snuff 'em [E]out
He'd say, [D]"Take my heed
And you won't pay the [E]price
'Cause [G]honor and a name ain't worth a damn
If [B]you don't have your life"

[Chorus 1]
'Cause [E]"Ain't nobody faster
than this [Bm]cattleman's gun
I'm a [A]rattlesnake on the trig[E]ger
Your last stand'll be [Bm]lyin' in the sand
[A]Fallin' to the [G]slam of my [E]hammer"
[E]

[Verse 3]
So [E]one man taught for[D]giveness
While the [A]other taught [G]suffer[E]ing
The preacher said deliv[D]erance
Could be [A]found out [G]on their [E]knees
He'd say, [D]"I know you want justice
And you want [E]blood
But be[G]lieve me when I say to you
Don't [B]try be that man's judge

[Chorus 2]
'Cause [E]"Ain't nobody faster
than that [Bm]cattleman's gun
He's a [A]rattlesnake on the trig[E]ger
Your last stand'll be [Bm]lyin' in the sand
[A]Fallin' to the slam of his [E]hammer"

[Verse 4]
[E]One day a young [D]farmer
brought his [A]sons to [G]town for [E]feed
And he noticed that the [D]streets were quiet,
and he [A]knew what [G]that might [E]mean
The [D]smoke rose in the distance
His farm [E]burned to the ground
He let the [G]fury overtake him
When [B]cattleman came back to town

[Bridge 1]
Those [E]boys ran out from behind [Bm]the crowd
And [A]watched their daddy [E]die
The big man laughed and said,
"Now look at [Bm]that
Anybody [A]else wanna give it a [E]try?"
Well, the church doors opened
With that black [Bm]cloak flowin'
behind the [A]preacher's fiery [E]eyes
He said, "Your ticket to Hell is a comin' to you
And I got a [B]hollow-point to give you the ride"

[Chorus 3]
And the [E]only thing faster
than the [Bm]cattleman's gun
Was the [A]preacher man's handy [E]finger
He pulled iron from his side
and let [Bm]that bullet fly
Beat the [A]rattlesnake to the ham[E]mer

[Outro 1]
Why the [E]preacher embraced for[Bm]giveness
Oh, they [A]finally [G]un der[E]stood
Under that sheepskin [Bm]cloak of his
Was a [A]history [G]of blo[E]od
