lyrics

CAPO 1 [F]

[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO

[Em] Did you see the flash of [A] silver on the [Em] ridge.
Looks like the [G] Marshall made the [A] pass before we [Em] did
[Em] Our Buckskin colts need [A] water at the [Em] bridge
So [G] we can’t burn the [A] breeze or stay [Em] hid

[G] [A] [Em]
[G] [A] [Em]

[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO

So [Em] We followed the arro[A]yo to the cotton[Em]woods
We [G] thought we’d found our [A] freedom in a bone [Em] orchard
[Em] We should all be going to [A] blazes if we know whats [Em] good
Then we [G] heard the sting of blue [A] lighting right were we [Em] stood.

[G] We [D] are the [A] bandits of blood [Em] bucket
We [G] galloped [A] like the [Em] wind
Out of [G] Yuma’s [A] big [Em] prison
[G] To take our [D] chance at the [A] golden [Em] nugget
With our [G] bellies [A] in the [Em] bush
We [G] tried [A] to make our [Em] rush

[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO

[G] [A] [Em]
[G] [A] [Em]

[Em] [G] [Em] INTRO

Our [Em] papa always [A] said his bullets find a [Em] bandit
But [G] we never thought It’d be [A] his lead we would [Em] eat
My [Em] brother he cried for [A] papa when his blood he [Em] spit
So I [G] laid down my [A] shooter in the dust by [Em] his feat

Chorus
