He rode twelve days to the border

Where the claiber of a man

Of the pistol in his hand.
G
He lasted a week before the others
Em
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
C
And on a Saturday night,

He was shot after a card game.

In the middle of the desert.
G
He slumped off to take a drink,

head on the edge,

And Danny's father fell and
D
sank into the darkness.
Em
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
Em
D
G
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun

And opened the front door,

And found a hatchet in her chest

Before she could do anything more.

And his sister was pulled

From the house and then went silent

Danny knew there was nothing left to do
G

But make a run for it.

He rode hard without stopping

He drew up bucket after bucket

Em
And drank water through the night.
C
He drew up bucket after bucket
D
G
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Em
He began to fel the rot
C
Work its way through his veins
Am
D
And into the depths of his brain.
G
And his horse began to stammer
Em
And kick with the craze.
Em
Am
D
That the water in the well
G
Em
Was unsafe.

As he lay dying with his horse,

Where his own death began.

And all that he takes.
