Ballad Of A Well Known Gun


D 
 
I  
D 
pulled out my Stage Coach Times
 
And I  
D7 
read the latest  
G 
news
A 
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
 
And of  
A7 
course I saw they  
D 
knew

The Pinkertons pulled out my bags

 
And asked me  
D7 
for my  
G 
name
A 
I stuttered out my answer
 
And  
A7 
hung my head in  
D 
shame

{soc}

D 
Now they’ve found me
 
At last they’ve  
A7 
found 
 
me
 
It’s hard to  
G 
run
 
From a starving  
D 
family

Now they’ve found me

 
Well  
D7 
I won’t  
G 
run
 
I’m tired of  
D 
hearing
Bm 
There 
 
 
A 
goes a  
G 
well-known 
 
 
D 
gun
{eoc}

Now I’ve seen this chain gang

Lord I say let me see my priest
I couldn’t have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt
When he ran from the law
