The Ballad Of Waterhole #3 (Mod)

(Code Of The West)

(1st)

C7 Am

The code of the west ain’t some words on a page

C F Bb G

You just natch’lly know it when you come of age

C7 F F7

You eat when you’re hungry you drink when you’re dry

G F C7

You look every man in the eye

G C F C7

Oh, the code of the west, when the boys talk of women

C F Bb7

The code of the west, what-cha know you don’t tell

Eb Ab F

The code of the west, a man soaps his own saddle , brand his

Bb Eb Bb G

own cattle and some of his neighbors as well

(2nd)

C7 Am

If you’re build-in fences then I ain’t for hire

C F Bb G

You get me for nothing and I bring the wire

C7 F F7

You patch up my windows, I’ll plumb up you’re door’s

G F C7

If you scratch my back , I’ll scratch yours

G C F C7

Oh, the code of the west, you must honor your neighbor

C F Bb7

The code of the west, to your own self be true

Eb Ab

The code of the west, you must do un-to others,

F Bb Eb Bb G

do un-to other’s before they do it un-to you.
