Finest marksman in the west
 A      D
Rex Marksley
Bm                           E  
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

                A 
Rex Marksley at an younger age
                D
shot holes in cans without a missin'
                Bm
sadly they were in the pantry
                A
so beans painted the whole darn kitchen

              A
His parents then let him shoot
              D
the empty cans out on their fence
              Bm
but Rex trick shot out all the nails
              A
so out the fence all their cows went


His father cried!


 A      D

Finest marksman in the west
A       D
Rex Marksley
Bm                           E
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

            A
Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
            D
an engineer extraordinaire
            Bm
He made quick-reloading gadgets
            A
so he could fire non-stop with panache and flare

            A
He became a gun for hire
            D
and a hero whereever he roamed
            Bm
he disarmed forty bandits one time
            A
with two gunshots all on his own

 A      D
Rex Marksley
Bm               E     
Finest marksman in the west
 A      D
Rex Marksley
Bm                           E
When it came to gun slinging he was the best

 D       A            E       D
He had heart and a righteous stand
 F#min                 A      E        F#min
and they tell of his stories across the land

 D              A         E        D
He jammed the guns that fired his way
F#min           A               E        F#min
by shooting bullets into their barrels they say

 D                          A             E            F#min
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention, 
 D                 A           E                  F#min
and zapped that evil demon train back to it's own dimension

 D                     A         E         F#min
That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright, 
 D                A             E    F#min
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite

 D                         A                    E        F#min
He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony, 
 D                        A            E         F#min
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

Here we go now!

 D                  A                E                     D
Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land
F#min                  A                    E               F#min
He tamed enormous vultures, reined and flew them with one hand

 D                           A          E           D
All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye
F#min                      A        E   F#min
and the bad guys always fell to their demise

 D               A         E                D
The man was a legend and hero through and through
 F#min             A            E              F#min
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised

 D                      A         E           D
He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days
 F#min              A                  E      F#min
and he died an old man alone on the prairie they say


 A    D
