Tell you a story, about a girl named Kimberly
F5 A5 Bb5
Who all the cowboys wanted cause she was wild and free
F5 A5 Bb5
But now theres fussing and theres fighting We all taking sides
F5 A5 Bb5
While the cowboys are playing their old games of conquer and divide. You see
F5 A5 Bb5
Kimberly was special, a rare and wild soul
F5 A5 Bb5
Nearly every man who met her, their hearts she always stole
F5 A5 Bb5
But there are always those exceptions of the cold and callous kind
F5 A5 Bb5
That wanted just her body and leave the mess for us behind
F5 A5 Bb5

So he brandished all his bullets he put a gun right to our head
F5 A5
Bb5
He said "I'm giving you all a choice now, you're either with me or your dead
