Verse 1
B
Danny's father was a drinker,

he couldn't quit to save his life

B
He left one night after he murdered
G#m
His best friend with a knife.
E
He snuck away into the dark
C#m
F#
And didn't stop to say
B
G#m
E
F#
goodbye.
B
He rode twelve days to the border
G#m
Where the claiber of a man
E
Was measured by the caliber
G#m
C#m
F#
Of the pistol in his hand.
B
He lasted a week before the others
G#m
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
E
And on a Saturday night,
F#
B
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
G#m
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
E
He went crying through the night,
C#m
F#
Trying to get back home.

And at dawn he was not dead,
G#m
But he was dying of thirst.
E
And his horse found a well

G#m
E
F#
In the middle of the desert.
B
He slumped off to take a drink,

head on the edge,
E
And Danny's father fell and
F#
sank into the darkness.
G#m
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
G#m
F#
B
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
G#m
And opened the front door,
E
And found a hatchet in her chest
F#
Before she could do anything more.
B
And his sister was pulled
G#m
From the house and then went silent
E
F#
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
B

E
F#
But make a run for it.
B
He rode hard without stopping
G#m
Three days and nights away from hell.
E
He passed out on his horse
C#m
F#
And it led him to a well
B
He woke baking in the sun
G#m
And could not believe his eyes.
E
He drew up bucket after bucket
F#
B
G#m
And drank water through the night.
E
He drew up bucket after bucket
F#
B
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
G#m
He began to fel the rot
E
Work its way through his veins
C#m
F#
And into the depth s of his brain.
B
And his horse began to stammer
G#m
And kick with the craze.
G#m
C#m
F#
That the water in the well
B
G#m
Was unsafe.

B
As he lay dying with his horse,
G#m
He somehow came to understand
E
It was the death of his father
F#
Where his own death began.
G#m
The sins his father makes
F#
C#m
F#
And all that he takes.

And all that he takes.

An d all that he takes.
