(my first tab, plz don't be too hard)

Intro: G D A# A G#/Ab A# C G |x2

Gm                    F
   In the heat of the desert sun,
Gm                   F
   on the blistering trail
Gm                                       
   An appaloosa and,
D                           A#  F   C
   a wanted man sprung from jail

Gm                    F
   Slow in motion and shadow-less
Gm                    F
   The switch and the spurs
Gm                   D  
   Every living thing, with a fatal sting
A#         F         C
   Bark and rattle this curse


Chorus: G D A# A G#/Ab A# C G   |x2  


Gm               F
   The rider hallucinates
Gm                            F
   The snapping hooves on the sand
Gm                    D
   Spits a venom dream, recalls a stranger scream
A#       F      C
   And a broken hand...

Gm                         F
   The saddle spotted with sweat and blood
Gm                              F
   The poison pumps through his veins
Gm                          D
   There's no stopping this, and now he's powerless
A#       F           C
   Still holding the reigns...


Chorus: G D A# A G#/Ab A# C G |x2

Bridge: Gm D A# A C   


   Gm                 D
   Any pour souls who trespass against us
   A#            F        C
   Whether it be beast or man
        Gm                    D
   Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight
      A#          F          C
   By those who inhabit this land
       Gm                      D
   For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom
      A#          F        C
   As sure as the sun does burn
      Gm                   D
   So enter this path, but heed these four words,
   A#        F        C 
   You shall never return...

   Gm (or G)          D
   Any pour souls who trespass against us
   A#            F        C
   Whether it be beast or man
        G                     D
   Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight
      A#          F          C
   By those who inhabit this land
       Gm                      D
   For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom
      A#          F        C
   As sure as the sun does burn
      G                   D
   So enter this path, but heed these four words,
   A#        F        C 
   You shall never return...

Outro: G D A# A C |x3
