Seals And Crofts - Dust On My Saddle
INTRO: A  
CHORUS: 
Dust on my saddle, Bmmud on my boots
A Ecouple of empty saddle bags, except for two old Asuits
I'm tired and I'm hungry, Bmworried as can be
Last Enight I saw a poster and they're still after AmeF#  
They claim we were in Clinton, last Abmyear in the month of June
They Dbsaid on the night of the 17th, in Katy's old sF#aloon
A man was shot in cold blood, in a Abmfriendly poker game
I dDbon't know how it happened, but somehow I got the F#blame
CHORUS: 
Dust on my saddle, Bmmud on my boots
A Ecouple of empty saddle bags, except for two old Asuits
I'm tired and I'm hungry, Bmworried as can be
Last Enight I saw a poster and they're still after AmeF#  
Well, I've worked up in the gold mines and I've Abmlogged up in the hills
Come DbSpring, I'd drive the herds up, come Fall, I'd work the F#mills
Well, I've done most every kind of work, from Abmletter A to Z
I Dbguess I'll be a-riding now, the past is chasing F#me
CHORUS: 
Dust on my saddle, Bmmud on my boots
A Ecouple of empty saddle bags, except for two old Asuits
I'm tired and I'm hungry, Bmworried as can be
Last Enight I saw a poster and they're still after AmeF#  
Six years now since that fateful day. my Abmriding days have ceased
Well I'm Dbhiding out in Kansas, they think I am a F#priest
I'm carrying a Bible inAbmstead of a forty-five
ReDbmembering that poster saying, "Dead or AF#live"
Sunday sermon's over, I look Abmout towards the bar
DbSeveral men are coming, one has on a F#star
Well, I guess this time they caught me, Abmrunning ain't no use
This Dbrobe will never stop them, they think they know the F#truth
But now the star is speaking, he Abmsays that I am free
These Dbyears I spent a-running, they didn't have to F#be
Well, they caught their man six years ago, right Abmafter I left town
My Dbriding days are over now and I can settle F#down
CHORUS: 
ADust on my saddle, Bmmud on my boots
A Ecouple of empty saddle bags, except for two old Asuits
I'm tired and I'm hungry, Bmworried as can be
Last Enight I saw a poster and they're still after Ame
CHORUS: 
Dust on my saddle, Bmmud on my boots
A Ecouple of empty saddle bags, except for two old Asuits
I'm tired and I'm hungry, Bmlonely as can be
                      EN.C.         A  
I'm bound for Carolina, and my family
