[Verse 1]
F                           E
I traded in my horse at Amarillo
F                                      E
For a filly that looked like she could run
F                                 E
If he finds me before I make the Rio
F                                   E
I swear to God he'll find me with my gun
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
 
         Am  G  F   Em
And I've never seen him
          Am  G   F   Em
But I'm sure he's out there
        Am   G   F   Em
And I must have known him
       Am   G     F    Em
And I must have wronged him
 
 
[Chorus]
            Am                                   G
I vowed to ride, and spurred the flesh from my horse's side
      Fm        Em     Fm        Em    Fm          Em      Fm
And I kicked her and I gored her and I pressed her for the border
  Em    Fm    Em  Fm  G   Em
For a place where I could hide
            Am                                   G
And Lord, I pray, at least let me make it to Monterey
          Fm    Em        Fm   Em  Fm       Em  Fm
And if my prayer You will hear, I swear I'll disappear
  Em     Fm    Em  Fm  G Em
And I'll throw my guns away
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                            E
I fell asleep sitting in the saddle
        F                                E
And I dreamed of the ghostly rider on my trail
    F                                 E
But when I wake, I start to shake and rattle
     F                                   E
And I know the filly's legs are about to fail
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
            Am  G  F  Em
And so I cross the river
         Am G  F   Em
And I turn to face him
          Am  G    F   Em
And I'll make my stand here
    Am  G  F   Em
And I will die here
 
 
[Chorus]
          Am                                   G
I took a sip, for I felt my courage start to slip
        Fm     Em  Fm     Em  Fm       Em      Fm
And I'll shoot any gringo who tries to cross the Rio
  Em   Fm Em Fm  G   Em
Wearing iron on his hip
          Am                                   G
And up the trail... He's a good rider, I can tell
      Fm          Em          Fm     Em      Fm      Em      Fm
But I swear I'll shoot the stranger, I don't care if he's a Ranger
Em   Fm Em  Fm   G   Em
Or a demon sent from Hell
 
 
[Verse 3]
F                                       E
As the rider approached the edge of the river
         F                                 E
I could tell that he was wrapped up in a shroud
       F                               E
But then her voice skipped across the water
    F                              E
And the prideful spirit within me bowed
 
 
[Pre-Choruse]
          Am    G    F   Em
And you should have seen her
        Am  G   F  Em
As pretty as I left her
        Am     G    F  Em
And the air smelled bloody
            Am   G  F  Em
It was the smell of vengeance
 
 
[Chorus]
             Am                                   G
And she did frown, and she challenged me to draw down
   Fm     Em     Fm       Em     Fm         Em     Fm
She said that I owed her for the blood that had flowed
Em Fm Em Fm  G   Em
Upon her wedding gown
            Am                                G
And I felt fear, for I had killed my brother dear
     Fm     Em      Fm     Em     Fm       Em      Fm  Em
And she had found him dead on the day they were to wed on
     Fm   Em    Fm   G   Em
In a pool of blood and tears
