Trail Rage Chords

(ver. 1)
Chris Guenther
[Intro]
 
Am C G Am
Am C G Am
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                          C
Now the Chisholm trail is a lot of things
       G               Am
But to me it's an open grave
Am                       C
I've seen some blood and many men die
       G                      Am
At the hands of John Wesley's rage
 
[Verse 1]
 
Am                          C
Now, John Welsey Harden was just eighteen
       G                 Am
In the summer of seventy-one
Am                        C
He was wanted for killin' many good men
        G                       Am
He took this job to stay on the run
 
[Verse 2]
 
Am                            C
He was callous and cold about everything
         G               Am
The most vicous killer I know
Am                               C
We took twelve-hundred steers to Abilene
       G                 Am
He had two months riding alone
 
[Verse 3]
 
Am                    C
Well another herd was pushing drag
    G                    Am
And all the John saw was red
Am                   C
And two the vaqueros herdin' them
          G                         Am
He said, "pull back or else you are dead"
 
[Solo]
 
Am C G Am
Am C G Am
 
[Verse 4]
 
Am                  C
When I looked back, John was turned
        G                Am
With an evil look in his eyes
Am                           C
He pulled out his pistol and gunned the man down
    G                        Am
And left them alone there to die
 
[Verse 5]
 
Am                     C
By the time we reached Abilene
         G                      Am
Word had spread all through the town
Am                   C
But jurisdiction was out of reach
      G                     Am
So no verdict could ever be found
 
[Verse 6]
 
Am                            C
Now some men are born without concsiounce
         G                   Am
They can kill without even a care
Am                                C
And they lust for their greed and power
         G                              Am
And they don't know what's rightous and fair
 
[Chorus]
 
Am                          C
Now the Chisholm trail is a lot of things
       G               Am
But to me it's an open grave
Am                       C
I've seen some blood and many men die
       G                      Am
At the hands of John Wesley's rage
 
[Outro]
 
Am C G Am
Am C G Am
