Intro: G5 D5 Bb5 A5 Ab5 Bb5 C5 G5 x2

G5                    F5
   In the heat of the desert sun,
G5                   F5
   on the blistering trail
G5                                       
   An appaloosa and,
D5                           Bb5  F5   C5
   a wanted man sprung from jail

G5                    F5
   Slow in motion and shadow-less
G5                    F5
   The switch and the spurs
G5                   D5  
   Every living thing, with a fatal sting
Bb5         F5         C5
   Bark and rattle this curse


Biss: G5 D5 Bb5 A5 Ab5 Bb5 C5 G5   x2  


G5               F5
   The rider hallucinates
G5                            F5
   The snapping hooves on the sand
G5                    D5
   Spits a venom dream , recalls a stranger scream
Bb5       F5      C5
   And a broken hand...

G5                         F5
   The saddle spotted with sweat and blood
G5                              F5
   The poison pumps through his veins
G5                          D5
   There's no stopping this, and now he's powerless
Bb5       F5           C5
   Still holding the reigns...

Bridge: G5 D5 Bb5 A5 C5   


   G5                 D5
   Any pour souls who trespass against us
   Bb5            F5        C5
   Whether it be beast or man
        G5                    D5
   Will suffer the bite or be stung dead on sight
      Bb5          F5          C5
   By those who inhabit this land
       G5                      D5
   For theirs is the power and this is their kingdom
      Bb5          F5        C5
   As sure as the sun does burn
      G5                   D5
   So enter this path, but heed these four words,
   Bb5        F5        C5 
   You shall never return...
