Verse 1
A
Danny's father was a drinker,
F#m
he couldn't quit to save his life
Or his daughter,
A
He left one night after he murdered
F#m
His best friend with a knife.
D
He snuck away into the dark
Bm
E
And didn't stop to say
A
F#m
D
E
goodbye.
A
He rode twelve days to the border
F#m
Where the claiber of a man
D
Was measured by the caliber
F#m
Bm
E
Of the pistol in his hand.
A
He lasted a week before the others
F#m
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
D
And on a Saturday night,
E
A
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
F#m
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
D
He went crying through the night,
Bm
E
Trying to get back home.
A
And at dawn he was not dead,
F#m
But he was dying of thirst.
D
And his horse found a well
E
A
F#m
D
E
In the middle of the desert.
A
He slumped off to take a drink,
F#m
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,
D
And Danny's father fell and
E
sank into the darkness.
F#m
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
F#m
E
A
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
F#m
And opened the front door,
D
And found a hatchet in her chest
E
Before she could do anything more.
A
And his sister was pulled
F#m
From the house and then went silent
D
E
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
A
F#m
D
E
But make a run for it.
A
He rode hard without stopping
F#m
Three days and nights away from hell.
D
He passed out on his horse
Bm
E
And it led him to a well
A
He woke baking in the sun
F#m
And could not believe his eyes.
D
He drew up bucket after bucket
E
A
F#m
And drank water through the night.
D
He drew up bucket after bucket
E
A
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
F#m
He began to fel the rot
D
Work its way through his veins
Bm
E
And into the depths of his brain.
A
And his horse began to stammer
F#m
And kick with the craze.
F#m
Bm
E
That the water in the well
A
F#m
Was unsafe.

Bm
E
That the water in the well

F#m
D
E
Was unsafe.
A
As he lay dying with his horse,
F#m
He somehow came to understand
D
It was the death of his father
E
Where his own death began.
F#m
The sins his father makes
E
Bm
E
And all that he takes.
F#m
The sins his father makes
E
A
F#m
And all that he takes.
E
An d all that he takes.
