He rode twelve days to the border

Of the pistol in his hand.

He lasted a week before the others
Am
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
F
And on a Saturday night,

head on the edge,

sank into the darkness.
Am
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
Am
G

And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun

And opened the front door,

And found a hatchet in her chest

From the house and then went silent

But make a run for it.

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

And all that he takes.
