I rode into a

On the faces of the people was
the blankness of despair.

Cm
I'd rid den hard to reach this town. I thought that it might be
Ab
a place where I could settle down, where no one knew of me.
Db
I rode by the nervous town folk who
Cm
Ab
Cm
were standing in the sun.
but in return they kept staring at my gun.
The old familiar sickness started
churning up inside.
Cm
Now they'd ask if it was true that
Db
Dbm
13 men had died.
Db
First would come the curious,
and then the would -be brave,
Ab
Db
to try for a reputation or a
senseless early grave.
But no, these folks,
they welcomed me like I was their old friend.
Could be that here was peace at last, that
I'd reached my journey's end.
But hope died quickly as they spoke.
I chilled in the sweltering sun.
Db
To them, I wasn't friend or foe,
just a fast and deadly gun.
They wanted me to kill again,
to save the town, they said.
I told them that
I'd fight no more.
Too many men were dead.
But even as I turned away,
Ab
Db
they came riding down the street.
Ab
As bad a pair of gun men as a
Db
Dbm
man would ever meet.
Db
Lord, please help this town and
those who soon will die.
But this was none of my concern.

I watched them right on by.
Fightin' gun, fightin' gun,
Db

Dm
I got a room and locked the door,
and I fell asleep at last,
wondering if there was a lawman,
hoping his gun was fast.
Bb
Then I came to my feet with gun in hand
Dm
to the sound of a six -gun's roar.
There were frantic footsteps in
Bb
Dm
the hall and a pounding at my door.
C#
C#
If there's any mercy in your heart,
Dm
please help us now, they cried.
The sheriffs heard two men are
down and a little child has died.
Just one last time
I'd have to fight, then
I'd be one of them.
I'd found a home, a home at last,
I'd be like other men.
Db
My gun felt strange,
Dm
my heart was light as I faced them in the street.
I even smiled as they went down
and lay dying at my feet.
The blood was running from my wounds as I was sinking to the ground,
but my newfound friends would care for me.
D
Dm
You see, I found my town.
Before my wounds had time to heal,
they all had lost their fear.
I asked about my newfound friends.
Not a one of them came near.
Then a spokesman came to me.
He said, speaking for the town,
we're grateful for the help you gave.
We just don't want your
kind around.
Frightened
Town,
D
Frightened
Dm
Town
Then with a deeper wound
inside than a bullet ever made,
C
I rode away with a darker past.
I even tried to pray,
Dm
for fate was moving me again
as a blood -red sun went down
with a few more scars
down an endless road to
another frightened town.
Bb
Dm
Fightin' now, fightin' now, fightin' now
