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