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

Gm (355333@1)                  F (133211@1)  In the heat of the desert sun,
Gm (355333@1)                 F (133211@1)  on the blistering trail
Gm (355333@1)                                     
   An appaloosa and,
D (xx0232@1)                         A# (x1333x@1)F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)  a wanted man sprung from jail

Gm (355333@1)                  F (133211@1)  Slow in motion and shadow-less
Gm (355333@1)                  F (133211@1)  The switch and the spurs
Gm (355333@1)                 D (xx0232@1)
   Every living thing, with a fatal sting
A# (x1333x@1)       F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)  Bark and rattle this curse


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


Gm (355333@1)             F (133211@1)  The rider hallucinates
Gm (355333@1)                          F (133211@1)  The snapping hooves on the sand
Gm (355333@1)                  D (xx0232@1)  Spits a venom dream, recalls a stranger scream
A# (x1333x@1)     F (133211@1)    C (x32010@1)  And a broken hand...

Gm (355333@1)                       F (133211@1)  The saddle spotted with sweat and blood
Gm (355333@1)                            F (133211@1)  The poison pumps through his veins
Gm (355333@1)                        D (xx0232@1)  There's no stopping this, and now he's powerless
A# (x1333x@1)     F (133211@1)         C (x32010@1)  Still holding the reigns...

   Gm (355333@1)               D (xx0232@1)  Any pour souls who trespass against us
   A# (x1333x@1)          F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  Whether it be beast or man
        Gm (355333@1)                  D (xx0232@1)  Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight
      A# (x1333x@1)        F (133211@1)        C (x32010@1)  By those who inhabit this land

      A# (x1333x@1)        F (133211@1)      C (x32010@1)  As sure as the sun does burn
