Verse 1
Eb
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
Fm
Bb
And didn't stop to say
Eb
Cm
Ab
Bb
goodbye.
Eb
He rode twelve days to the border
Cm
Where the claiber of a man
Ab
Was measured by the caliber
Cm
Fm
Bb
Of the pistol in his hand.
Eb
He lasted a week before the others
Cm
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
Ab
And on a Saturday night,
Bb
Eb
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
Cm
He climbed on his horse and headed north.

He went crying through the night,
Fm
Bb
Trying to get back home.

And at dawn he was not dead,

But he was dying of thirst.

And his horse found a well

Ab
Bb
In the middle of the desert.
Eb
He slumped off to take a drink,
Cm
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,

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

Before she could do anything more.

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

Danny knew there was nothing left to do
Eb
Cm

But make a run for it.

He rode hard without stopping

Three days and nights away from hell.

He passed out on his horse

And it led him to a well

He woke baking in the sun

And could not believe his eyes.
Ab
He drew up bucket after bucket
Bb
Eb
Cm
And drank water through the night.
Ab
He drew up bucket after bucket
Bb
Eb
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Cm
He began to fel the rot
Ab
Work its way through his veins
Fm
Bb
And into the depths of his brain.
Eb
And his horse began to stammer
Cm
And kick with the craze.
Cm
Fm
Bb
That the water in the well
Eb
Cm
Was unsafe.

As he lay dying with his horse,

It was the death of his father

And no man can escape

The sins his father makes
Ab
He is bound in blood
Bb
Fm
Bb
And all that he takes.
