He rode in from the west

With an eye for
  G         Dm   C G
A dollar to make
   Dm            F
He pitched us a sale
      C
About healin' and
G          Dm   C G
Oil from a snake
    Dm          F
The barkeep he warned him
        C
But the man
    G         Dm   C G
Did not comprehend
 
[Chorus]
    F                        G
How strangers round here disappear

Like straw in the wind

Too young but in love

In some northern town

He treated her good

'Till the sun and
    G            Dm   C G
The whiskey went down
        Dm             F
Did the bruise on her face
         C
Test the patience
   G          Dm  C G
Of all of her kin
 
[Chorus]
      F                        G

   Dm             F
Oh Clem runs his mouth

When he drinks since

His wife passed away
         Dm           F
But he's good to the kids
        G
And the crops that
   F              Dm    F C G
He sells are fair trade
      Dm          F
But a travelling man
     C
Had enough took a
G           Dm   C G
Pipe to his chin
 
[Chorus]

Could talk here's

What it would say

If you come here with Good

In your heart
       F          Dm  F C G
You'll be on your way
       Dm           F
Oh but I'm not the one

Here who judged
 G            Dm  F C G
Another man's sin
