Verse 1

Danny's father was a drinker,

he couldn't quit to save his life

He left one night after he murdered

His best friend with a knife.

He snuck away into the dark
Ebm
Ab
And didn't stop to say
Db
Bbm
Gb
Ab
goodbye.
Db
He rode twelve days to the border
Bbm
Where the claiber of a man
Gb
Was measured by the caliber
Bbm
Ebm
Ab
Of the pistol in his hand.
Db
He lasted a week before the others
Bbm
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
Gb
And on a Saturday night,
Ab
Db
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
Bbm
He climbed on his horse and headed north.

He went crying through the night,

Trying to get back home.

And at dawn he was not dead,

And his horse found a well

In the middle of the desert.
Db
He slumped off to take a drink,
Bbm
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,

And Danny's father fell and
Ab
sank into the darkness.
Db
And at that very hour,
Bbm
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
Bbm
Ab
Db
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
Bbm
And opened the front door,
Gb
And found a hatchet in her chest

Before she could do anything more.

And his sis ter was pulled
Bbm
From the house and then went silent

Danny knew there was nothing left to do
Db
Bbm

He rode hard without stopping
Bbm
Three days and nights away from hell.
Gb
He passed out on his horse
Ebm

And it led him to a well

He woke baking in the sun
Bbm
And could not believe his eyes.
Gb
He drew up bucket after bucket
Ab
Db
Bbm
And drank water through the night.
Gb
He drew up bucket after bucket
Ab
Db
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Bbm
He began to fel the rot
Gb
Work its way through his veins
Ebm
Ab
And into the depth s of his brain.
Db
And his horse began to stammer
Bbm
And kick with the craze.
Bbm
Ebm
Ab
That the water in the well
Db
Bbm
Was unsafe.

Db
As he lay dying with his horse,
Bbm
He somehow came to understand
Gb
It was the death of his father
Ab
Where his own death began.
Db
And no man can escape
Bbm
The sins his father makes
Gb
He is bound in blood
Ab
Ebm
Ab
And all that he takes.
