[Intro]
C F G C G
[Verse]
C F
Johnny Ringo, was murdered they say,
G C G
By Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holiday.
C F
Long, long ago, far, far away,
G C G
Back in the wild wooly western days.
[Verse]
C F
Sat back beneath a big oak tree, they found him dead,
G C G
One single bullet, fired through his head,
C F
Ringo's blood stains the Arizona sand,
G F G
His .45 cradled in his hands.
[Verse]
C F
William H. Bonney, was shot down in his youth,
G C G
Though that legend may not be the truth.
C F
Old Pat Garrett, might have turned him loose,
G C G
And foiled the Jailer, and the Hangman's noose.
[Verse]
C F
But the headlines in the morning papers read,
G C G
Bad seed, finally put to bed.
C F
Rumor had it he'd run off and hid,
G F G
Stopped calling his-self Billy the Kid.
[Chorus]
Dm G
I had a dream, I was ridin' high,
Dm G
Beneath a blue, New Mexico sky.
F C F
My pony's swift as San Antonio wind,
Dm G
A cowboys only true and faithful friend.
[Verse]
C F
Frank and Jesse, and the Younger boys,
G C G
All lived to see Missouri sky's.
C F
But the South had fallen, and they'd lost the war,
G C G
Missouri wasn't what it was before.
[Verse]
C F
So they all took to robin' banks and things,
G C G
Wound up covered up in blood stains.
C F
The Younger's went to jail, for what they did,
G F G
Bob and Charlie Ford shot Jesse James dead.
[Chorus]
Dm G
I had a dream, I was ridin' high,
Dm G
Beneath a blue, New Mexico sky.
F C F
My pony's swift as San Antonio wind,
Dm G
A cowboys only true and faithful friend.
[Verse]
C F
Johnny Ringo, was murdered they say,
G C G
By Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holiday.
C F
Long, long ago, far, far away,
G F C
Back in the wild wooly western days.
[Outro]
G C F C G C
In the wooly Western days.
