!F#  
It had rained for 3 days straight, But the sun was beginning to shine
!F#  
Two riders were approachin’, But they were no friends of mine.
!A  
Called out for Hanna
      !B  
And I kept here close to my side
!A  
Whistled for old Thunder
       !                    B!C#  
And my horse he was ready to ride
CHORUS: (1 thru 3 ascend, 4 and 5 descend)
  !                   F#!                   B!C#  
I give you everything I had babe, Ain’t that kindness
  !                        F#!                   B!C#  
I give you the good with the bad babe, Ain’t that kindness
                 !                          F#!                   B!C#  
Don’t cha know I give you my love when you're sad babe, Ain’t that kindness
        !               E!                  B!F#  
Hmmm ya know a man ain’t nothing without his gun
   !               E!                  B!F#  
Ya know a man ain’t nothing without his gun
V2:
Took to the road 6 nights and days, Only then did we think it was safe.
Heard the sound of 2 men approachin’, But they did not hesitate.
Hanna she was cryin’, But she wouldn’t let go of my leg.
Thunder he was tired, and a thinkin’ of a better day.
CHORUS:
V3:
Two shots fired and two figures fell, There was blood flowin’ over the ground.
Two men dead in the noon day sun, And they never ever made a sound.
Hanna she never forgave me, And I think I know the reason why.
When I called out for Thunder, The horse he up and died.
CHORUS:
Then continue to play verses music fading out.
Voice over verse music (spoken) "Aw, shoot me, shoot me."
