The Lawman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
They [D]sent me out from
Santa Fe to try and find his [G]trail
They think that I'm the [D]only one
who can bring him back to [A]jail
This [D]star says I'm a lawman this
gun has seen me [G]through
And though my heart is heavy
[D]I've got[A] a job to do[D]
You [G]see he's such a proud man
who nev[D]er learned to crawl
But a good man turns gun slinger
he's the meanest man of [A]all
He [D]killed the US Marshall and for
that he's gonna [G]pay
And I'm the lonely law[D]man who's
[A]on his trail today

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
There [D]was a time he fought for
true and on the side [G]of right
Until the only [D]girl he loved
was killed one faithful [A]night
I [D]know his heart was shattered as
he turned the bar[G]ren sod
And laid away her [D]body come
[A]ending into [D]God[G]
Then he vowed a revenge to
those [D]who took her life
And every notch upon his gun
a tear shed for his [A]wife
But re[D]venge is like wild fire
sweepin' through the [G]wood
It turns reason into [D]ashes and
it [A]burns out on the [D]good
Now [G]I can't help but remember
as I trail [D]this lonesome man
I don't believe while we were
boys out of any race we [A]ran
For [D]you see his face resembles mine
we talk somewhat the [G]same
And though we walk in [D]different world
we both [A]wear our daddy's [D]name
