Ry Cooder - VIGILANTE MAN lyrics

(Woody Guthrie)

(E) - (A) - (B7) Capo on 1

(E) Have you seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?

(A) Have you (E) seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?

(A) Have you (E) seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?

I've been hearin' his (B7) name all over the (E) land.

Rainy nights down in the engine house,

Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,

A man came along and he chased us out in the rain.

Was that a vigilante man ?

Well, I rambled around from town to town,

Now, I rambled around from town to town,

And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.

Was that the vigilante man ?

Well, why does a vigilante man ?

Tell me why does a vigilante man ?

Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand ?

Would he shoot his brother and sister down ?

Have you seen that vigilante man ?

Have you seen that vigilante man ?

Have you seen that vigilante man ?

I've been hearin' his name all over the land.
