James Mcmurtry - Comforts Just A Rifle Shot Away Chords

[Verse 1]
C
I was saddle sore and weary riding silent throught the night
                            G
runnign for my life in the sleepy rio grand
 
headed for the boarder with a posses on my tail
                                   C
with a bullet in my shoulder and a pistal in my hand
                        Am        Em
i robbed the band in hebbronville when things went wrong
             C                     F
i had to kill a man standing in my way
G
jumped on a horse road out of town with bullets raining all around
                         C
they got my atleast i got away
 
[Chorus]
F                G             C           Am
and mexico lays waiting like a lady of the night
G                    C
run like the devil or therell be hell to pay
F        G              C      Am
parodic lays just beyond the river
 G                         C
and comforts only 20 miles away

                                     C
away to plant my foot prints in the sands for time
                          Am                Em              C
but the blood is socking down my shirt im cold and tired my sholder hurts

       G
and to hell with the sands for time i just want to plant these feet of my
                          C
in the sun baked sands of mexico
