ABorn under a sEouth Kentucky Asky
F#mHe'd come west to MexiDco to Afight
D1842 at Mier
The F#mgutters filled with blood and fear
ABarely made it Eback to Texas aAlive
With AMissouri VolunEteers when the war begAan
In 'F#m46 they crossed the DRio AGrande
DThere he met his dark-eyed love
But F#msaid good bye when the war was done
He Aswore that he'd come Eback for her aAgain
DOh oh noviAa
F#mOh oh your Dman is Agone
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll F#mtake what God has left us
And we'll Aleave for CaliEfornia with the Adawn
AWorked his way back Eto Old MexiAco
To F#mreclaim the love he'd left two Dyears aAgo
DBack to those same city walls
Where F#mhe'd watched copper cannonballs
Like wAayward suns roll dEown the cobblesAtones
They Aput him in a prEison left alAone
With F#mother yankee fools so Dfar from Ahome
ParDade them through the square in chains
'Till F#min rode Captain Glanton's gang
AApache scalps for bEounties paid in Agold
DOh oh noviAa
F#mOh oh your Dman is gAone
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll F#mtake what God has left us
And we'll Aleave for CaliEfornia with the Adawn
GAlanton's men were Ekillers all by Atrade
And F#mthrough the prison bars a Ddeal was Amade
GDlanton needed three new men
He F#mhired the lovelorn veteran
The kAillers rode out tEhrough the governor's gAates
The VAeteran left Ecamp 'fore the rising Asun
No kF#miller he'd left all their Dwork unAdone
DHe was not yet two days out
When F#mGlanton's naked native scouts
Brought Aback his empty Ehorse and his brand new Agun
DOh oh noviAa
F#mOh oh your Dman is Agone
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll F#mtake what God has left us
And we'll Aleave for CaliEfornia with the Adawn
DOh oh noviAa
F#mOh oh your Dman is Agone
DMaybe he's in Texas
But we'll F#mtake what God has left us
And we'll lAeave for CaliEfornia with the Adawn

A E A
Born under a south Kentucky sky
F#m D A
He'd come west to Mexico to fight
D
1842 at Mier
F#m
The gutters filled with blood and fear
A E A
Barely made it back to Texas alive
A E A
With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
F#m D A
In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
D
There he met his dark-eyed love
F#m
But said good bye when the war was done
A E A
He swore that he'd come back for her again
D A
Oh oh novia
F#m D A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
F#m
But we'll take what God has left us
A E A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
A E A
Worked his way back to Old Mexico
F#m D A
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
D
Back to those same city walls
F#m
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
A E A
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones
A E A
They put him in a prison left alone
F#m D A
With other yankee fools so far from home
D
Parade them through the square in chains
F#m
'Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
A E A
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold
D A
Oh oh novia
F#m D A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
F#m
But we'll take what God has left us
A E A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
A E A
Glanton's men were killers all by trade
F#m D A
And through the prison bars a deal was made
D
Glanton needed three new men
F#m
He hired the lovelorn veteran
A E A
The killers rode out through the governor's gates
A E A
The Veteran left camp 'fore the rising sun
F#m D A
No killer he'd left all their work undone
D
He was not yet two days out
F#m
When Glanton's naked native scouts
A E A
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun
D A
Oh oh novia
F#m D A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
F#m
But we'll take what God has left us
A E A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
D A
Oh oh novia
F#m D A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
F#m
But we'll take what God has left us
A E A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
