Verse 1
Bb
Danny's father was a drinker,
Gm
he couldn't quit to save his life
Or his daughter,
Bb
He left one night after he murdered
Gm
His best friend with a knife.
Eb
He snuck away into the dark
Cm
F
And didn't stop to say
Bb
Gm
Eb
F
goodbye.
Bb
He rode twelve days to the border
Gm
Where the claiber of a man
Eb
Was measured by the caliber
Gm
Cm
F
Of the pistol in his hand.
Bb
He lasted a week before the others
Gm
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
Eb
And on a Saturday night,
F
Bb
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
Gm
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
Eb
He went crying through the night,
Cm
F
Trying to get back home.
Bb
And at dawn he was not dead,
Gm
But he was dying of thirst.
Eb
And his horse found a well

Bb
Gm
Eb
F
In the middle of the desert.
Bb
He slumped off to take a drink,
Gm
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,
Eb
And Danny's father fell and
F
sank into the darkness.
Bb
And at that very hour,
Gm
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
Gm
F
Bb
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
Gm
And opened the front door,
Eb
And found a hatchet in her chest
F
Before she could do anything more.
Bb
And his sis ter was pulled
Gm
From the house and then went silent
Eb
F
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
Bb
Gm
Eb
F
But make a run for it.
Bb
He rode hard without stopping
Gm
Three days and nights away from hell.
Eb
He passed out on his horse
Cm
F
And it led him to a well
Bb
He woke baking in the sun
Gm
And could not believe his eyes.
Eb
He drew up bucket after bucket
F
Bb
Gm
And drank water through the night.
Eb
He drew up bucket after bucket
F
Bb
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Gm
He began to fel the rot
Eb
Work its way through his veins
Cm
F
And into the depths of his brain.
Bb
And his horse began to stammer
Gm
And kick with the craze.
Gm
Cm
F
That the water in the well
Bb
Gm
Was unsafe.

Bb
As he lay dying with his horse,
Gm
He somehow came to understand
Eb
It was the death of his father
F
Where his own death began.
Bb
And no man can escape
Gm
The sins his father makes
Eb
He is bound in blood
F
Cm
F
And all that he takes.
