He lasted a week before the others

Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,

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

head on the edge,

sank into the darkness.

Danny woke to the screams

D#m

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

And his sis ter was pulled

He drew up bucket after bucket
C#
F#
D#m
And drank water through the night.

He drew up bucket after bucket
C#

And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
D#m
He began to fel the rot

Work its way through his veins
G#m
C#
And into the depth s of his brain.

And his horse began to stammer
D#m
And kick with the craze.

C#
That the water in the well
F#
D#m
Was unsafe.

F#
As he lay dying with his horse,

He somehow came to understand

And no man can escape

The sins his father makes
C#
G#m
C#
And all that he takes.
