Johnny Cash - Big Iron guitar chord

Intro:Am...Em...Am

C Am

To the town of Aqua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

C Am

Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say

F C

No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip

Am

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

F C

Big iron on his hip

C Am

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town

C Am

He came riding from the southside slowly looking all around

F C

He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each

lip

Am

And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his

hip

F C

Big iron on his hip

In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red

Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four

And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more

One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around

He was an Arizona Ranger wouldn't be too long in town

He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead

And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red

After Texas Red

The morning passed so quckly it was time for them to meet

It was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street

Folks were watching from their windows everybody held their breath

They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death

Was about to meet his death

There was forty fet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today

Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped

And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

the Big iron on his hip

F C

Big iron Big iron

C Am

When he tried to match the ranger with the Big iron on his

hip

F C

Big iron on his hip

OUTRO:C Am
