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

[Verse 1]
Broth[G]ers run wild
[D]as [C]the spring rains at [D]winter
Foaming and raging your
[C]way to the [D]sea[Dm]
[D]Acr[G]oss the dial evening[D]
[C]and no one would no[D]tice
No one would know
but the [C]preacher and [D]me
Six[G]teen days [D]of ridin',
[Dm]push[C]in' on that [D]mule train
Two hundred rifles for sad [C]time to [D]spend
That [G]preacher talk[D]in' about
[C]freedom and justice
[D]By takin' the coin
from [C]the high bidder's [D]hand
He [G]said, change is [D]a welcome
and a [Em]wondrous thing
[D]Onl[G]y the tru[D]est intentio[C]ns will win[D]
[G]Trade them [D]up even an [Em]eye for [D]an eye
[Dm]The faster y[D]ou live, hell,
[C]the faster you [D]die[Dm][D][Dsus4][D][Dm]
[G]Rode on before [D]me,
[C]blowin' the moon[D]light
Peacefully swayin' to some old
[C]gospel [D]tun[Dm]e
[D]Lay [G]down my hand,
[D]cross the grain of [C]my rifle
[D]Let a river before me,
my [C]chance comin' [D]soon
I'd [G]keep him [D]around till
we fall [C]in the wa[D]ter
I'd lead him around
till we [C]made the other [D]side
An[Dm]d I'd sh[G]oot me a hol[D]e
in that glow [C]in the moon[D]light
Say a prayer for the preacher
at [C]the end of [D]his ride
He said, [G]change is a [D]welcome
and a [Em]wondrous thing
[D]Onl[G]y the tru[D]est intentions w[C]ill brin[D]g
You [G]trade them [D]up even
an [Em]eye for an [D]eye
The faster you live, hell,
[C]the faster you [D]die[G][D][G][D]
[G]He turned and he smiled
[D]as we pus[C]hed the mules
deep[D]er[Dm]
[D]Spurred his horse,
[Dm]swam across,[D]
[C]stood waiting on the [D]bank[Dm]
[D]Mad[G]e it halfway,
[D]saw the[C] flash of his rifle
[D]My [Dm]leg burne[D]d like fire,
my horse [C]kicked [D]and
Kick[G]ing and turn[D]ing in
[C]that old muddy wa[D]ter
Going down, coming up,
go[C]ing [D]down [Dm]again
I [G]swear to this [D]day was that
[C]river that saved [D]me
Swept me away from [C]that
preacher's killing [D]hand
He [G]said, change is [D]a welcome
and a [Em]wondrous thing
[D]Onl[G]y the tru[D]est intentio[C]ns will bri[D]ng
[G]Train them [D]up even an [Em]eye for an e[D]ye
The faster you live, hell,
[G]the [C]faster you [D]die[Dm][D][Dsus4][D][Dm][D][Dm]
[D]Now that [G]Brazos ran wild
as [D]the spring [C]rains had [Dm]left her
[D]Foaming and raging her [C]way to the [D]sea
[G]Across her that evening
[D]no [C]one would [Dm]no tice
No [D]one would know
but the [C]preacher and [D]me[Dm][D]
I said no one would know
but preach[C]er and [D]me
