[ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, there was this movie I seen one time[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAbout a man riding 'cross the desert and it starred Gregory Peck[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAs the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nTurn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nYou know I can't believe we've lived so long and are still so far apart[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe memory of you keeps callin' after me like a rollin' train[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desert[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIn your busted down Ford and your platform heels[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meet[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAh, but you were right, it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, we drove that car all night into San Anton'[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd we slept near the Alamo, your skin was so tender and soft[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWay down in Mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' up over the Rockies[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nNow I know she ain't you but she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her soul[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] \r\nBut I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the mood anymore to remember [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nthe times when I was your only man[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd she don't want to remind me, she knows this car would go out of control[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBrownsville girl with your Brownsville curls[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTeeth like pearls shining like the

love[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards Amarillo[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWe pulled up where Henry Porter used to live, he owned a wreckin' lot outside of town about a mile[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] \r\nRuby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nShe saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nShe said, Henry ain't here but you can come on in, he'll be back in a little while[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] \r\nThen she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin' of[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nbummin' a ride back to where she started[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBut she changed the subject every time money came up[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nShe said, welcome to the land of the living dead, you could tell she was so broken-hearted[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nShe said, even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHow far are y'all going, Ruby asked us with a sigh[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWe're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\n'Til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nRuby just smiled and said, ah, you know some babies never learn[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nSomething about that movie though, well I just can't get it out of my head[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBut I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAll I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd a lot of them seemed to be lookin' my way[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBrownsville girl with your Brownsville curls[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nTeeth like pearls shining like the moon above[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nBrownsville girl, show me all around the world[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBrownsville girl, you're my honey love[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Verse]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI was crossin' the street when shots rang out[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWe got him cornered in the churchyard, I heard somebody shout[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] \r\nWell, you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune, underneath it, it said, a man with no alibi[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nYou went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThen when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt was the best acting I saw anybody do[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] \r\nNow I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass,[/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nbut sometimes you just find yourself over the line[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nOh if there's an original thought out there, I could use it right now[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nYou know, I feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much, I could feel a whole lot better[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIf you were just here by my side to show me how[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell, I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nYeah, but you know it's not the one that I had in mind[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe's got a new one out now, I don't even know what it's about[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nBut I'll see him in anything so I'll stand in line[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch]

know, it's funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em planned[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThe only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is that his name wasn't Henry Porter[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd you know there was somethin' about you baby that I liked that was always too good for this world[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] \r\nJust like you always said there was something about me you liked [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nthat I left behind in the French Quarter[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nStrange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI don't have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when I'm gone[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] \r\nYou always said people don't do what they believe in [/tab]\r\n[tab] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nthey just do what's most convenient, then they repent[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd I always said, hang on to me, baby, and let's hope that the roof stays on[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThere was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nI don't remember who I was or where I was bound[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAll I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in the back[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]Bm[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]\r\nSeems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn
