    C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)           
For three long years, he practiced until he could use the gun!
C (x32010@1)                 G (320003@1)           
Heart of stone--he lived alone, and he lived on beans and eggs.

     C (x32010@1)                   G (320003@1)           
Then he bummed around from town to town, "Has a stranger passed this way?
    C (x32010@1)                  G (320003@1)           
The man I'm looking for has two eyes, but he's a one-breed dirty dog.

When I find him,

     C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)           
He saw the stranger get off near the Seborrhoea Saloon,     C (x32010@1)            G (320003@1)           
And just as he was easin' in, a lumberjack rolled out.

And shot him dead, 
     Dthen (xx0232@1)One-Eye said:

C"Hey (x32010@1)you,
