[Chorus]
Am C
Dime novel hero
G C
Story papers about a time

A narrow gulch gambler

F C G C
Part vagrant and outlaw and a few things in between
[Verse 1]
Am C G C
Deadwood, South Dakota, a saloon called number ten
F C G
Like an ol' thick book reprint, familiar places I've never been
Am C Am C
Faded paper comic about a drover, scout, and spy
F C G C
A law man and actor on a stage set to die
[Verse 2]
Am C G C
Crowded round card table, one seat's back to the door
F C G
Dealing five card draw poker, like a soldier set for war
Am C Am C
Black eights and aces, ante up or play it blind
F C G C
Then the sound of a 45 pistol, now a victim of a crime
[Verse 3]
Am C G C
There it is in all it's glory, eleven slain and nothing more
F C G

So long desperado, how I hate to see you go
F C G C
Like beadle and adams or the way of the buffalo

A gunfighter past his prime
