Ballad Of A Well-known Gun

Intro: D

   D
I pulled out my Stage Coach Times
       D7              G
And I read the latest news
 A
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
        A7                D
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
              D7     G
And asked me for my name
 A
I stuttered out my answer
     A7              D
And hung my head in shame
Now they've found me
                 A7
At last they've found me
              G
It's hard to run
                 D
From a starving family
Now they've found me
      D7      G
Well I won't run
              D
I'm tired of hearing
 Bm    A      G          D
There goes a well-known gun
Now I've seen this chain gang
Lord I say let me see my priest
I couldn't have faced your desert sand
Old burning brown backed beast
The poor house they hit me for my kin
And claimed my crumbling walls
Now I know how Reno felt
When he ran from the law
Now they've found me...

(solo chords like 1st verse)

Lord I say at last they've found me...
Lord I say now they've found me...
