Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
As a [Am]young man I was
[G]raised by men of the [Am]cloth
And [F]I was tought to [G]judge men
equal and [Am]not to find their faults
Until one day I wit[G]nessed
a tragic [Am]thing[F]
The men lay [G]on the church steps, [Am]slain
And when the smoke cleared a tall
[G]man holstered his [Am]gun[F]
The bright day [G]ended and
[Am]a cloud did cover the sun
I found hate in my heart that I'd
[G]never known be[Am]fore[F]
I'll see this [G]man hang and if that's
[Am]the one thing that I know for [F]sure

[Verse 2]
Sil[G]verado you'll [Am]hang by
the hangman's [F]tree
And you'll [G]die in misery

[Interlude 1]
[Am]

[Verse 3]
His face [Am]remained in my eyes
as I [G]grew through the [Am]years[F]
I practiced shooting [G]every day while try
[Am]ing to hold back the tears
I travelled through Oklahoma and [G]Texas
to the Rio [Am]Grande[F]
Knowing when I met [G]Silverado the
[Am]Lord would steady my hand

[Verse 4]
[F]
Sil[G]verado you'll [Am]hang by
the hangman's [F]tree
And you'll [G]die in misery

[Interlude 2]
[Am][E][Am]
[Bm][Am][Dm][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
Then the day [Am]came I [G]dreamed of for [Am]years
[F]Silverado sto[G]od before me and
my [Am]heart it pounded in fear
As he turned and saw [G]my eyes
he knew why I'd [Am]come[F]
And without a [G]flick of the eyes
[Am]he went for his gun
And as I caused a fight [G]tears
come to my eye[Am]s[F]
When he [G]collapsed before me I
[Am]dropped my gun an sighed

[Verse 6]
[F]
[Am]Sil [Dm]verad[G]o you'll hang[Am]
by the [F]hangman's tree
And you'll [G]die [Am]in[F][G][Am][F]
[G]misery
