Butch's Ballad Lyrics & Tabs by Gomez
Butch's Ballad
guitar chords lyrics
Second time I saw you was the day I nearly died
Not thinkin' we'd be good friends
You'd just buried me alive
Now we ride together
Silver steed and mask to hide
Face that I was born with
One that Butch would recognize
He took my freedom and then my brother Dan
He was the captain of the Texas Ranger team
That Butch just shot him down
And left him bleeding on the ground
Turned his horse's head and
Rode to take my brothers town
Oh, the Lone Ranger
Ride my silver steed
Breakin' out, laws to hand
Shootin' silver bullets
Try'n ta save 'em while I can
Oh, the Lone Ranger
The violence may not end
With Tonto we'll defend until we die
Onward we rode
For many nights and many days
Out in the open
Danger never far away
Until that day it came
I saw that Butch
Ridin' with his gang
I told him to his face
All his evils and his wrongs
Said, "Listen Butch, you best just come along"
He laughed right back at me
And asked for right to appeal
"Either that or you can serve me my last meal"
Oh, the Lone Ranger
I ride my silver steed
Breakin' out, laws to hand
Shootin' silver bullets
Try'n ta save 'em while I can
Oh, the Lone Ranger
The violence may not end
With Tonto we'll defend until we die
Quiet desert sounds
Was all you could hear
You cage in a breath
As the horses drew in air
"Yes, serve your last meal
That's somethin' I can do,
Cold, hard silver is the last thing you'll consume"
Oh, the Lone Ranger
I ride my silver steed
Breakin' out, laws to hand
Shootin' silver bullets
Try'n ta save 'em while I can
Oh, the Lone Ranger
The violence may not end
With Tonto we'll defend until we die
Oh
Oh
