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

Bb
C

F
As he lay dying with his horse,
Dm
He somehow came to understand
Bb
It was the death of his father
C
Where his own death began.
Dm
The sins his father makes
Bb
He is bound in blood
C
Gm
C
And all that he takes.
Dm
The sins his father makes
Bb
He is bound in blood
C
F
Dm
And all that he takes.
Bb
He is bound in blood
C
An d all that he takes.
