Johnny Cash - The Ballad Of Boot Hill guitar chord

THE BALLAD OF BOOT HILL

Album: Ballads of the True West

KEY: Ab / CAPO: 1 / PLAY: G

INTRO:

Here lies less more

Four slugs from a forty-four

No less no more

VERSE:

N/C Em G

Out in Arizona just south to sun

G Em D

Were the tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home

D G

There's a town they call Tombstone were the brave never cry

G Em D G

They live by a six-gun by a six-gun they die

VERSE:

It's been a long time now since the town was a boom

The jailhouse is empty so's the Palace Saloon

Just one look will tell you that this town was real

A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill

VERSE:

Walk up to the fence there and look at the view

That's where they were hanging eighteen-eighty-two

It's easy to see where the brave men have died

Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified

VERSE:

At night when the moon shines so far away

It gets mighty lonesome looking down on the graves

There lies Billie Clanton never wanted to kill

But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
