V1:

!F#
It had rained for 3 days straight, But the sun was beginning to shine
!F#
Two riders were approachin’, But they were no friends of mine.
!A
Called out for Hanna
      !B
And I kept here close to my side
!A
Whistled for old Thunder
       !B                    !C#
And my horse he was ready to ride

CHORUS: (1 thru 3 ascend, 4 and 5 descend)

  !F#                        !B                   !C#
I give you the good with the bad babe, Ain’t that kindness

Don’t cha know I give you my love when you're sad babe, Ain’t that kindness
        !E               !B                  !F#
Hmmm ya know a man ain’t nothing without his gun
   !E               !B                  !F#
Ya know a man ain’t nothing without his gun

V2:
Took to the road 6 nights and days, Only then did we think it was safe.
Heard the sound of 2 men approachin’, But they did not hesitate.
Hanna she was cryin’, But she wouldn’t let go of my leg.
Thunder he was tired, and a thinkin’ of a better day.

CHORUS:

V3:
Two shots fired and two figures fell, There was blood flowin’ over the ground.
Two men dead in the noon day sun, And they never ever made a sound.
Hanna she never forgave me, And I think I know the reason why.
When I called out for Thunder, The horse he up and died.

CHORUS:

Then continue to play verses music fading out.
Voice over verse music (spoken) "Aw, shoot me, shoot me."
