  From a town known as wheeling, west virginia
         F          C              D         G   
  Rode a boy with a six-gun in his hand
          Em             F   
  And his daring life of crime
             C             G   
  Made him a legend in his time

  Well, he started with a bank in colorado
         F             C               D       G   
  In the pocket of his vest, a colt he hid
          Em          F   
  And his age and his size
           C             G

  Yes, he always rode alone
         G                           C
  And he soon put many older guns to shame
         D           Em
  And he never had a sweetheart
         Bm          C
  And he never had a home
