Johnny Cash

Album : The Complete Columbia Album Collection country PlayStop



G
Here lies Les Moore,

D
four slugs from a forty-four,

G

no Les no more.


Em G

Out in Arizona, just south of Tucson,

Em D

where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home,


there's a town they call Tombstone

G

where the brave never cry.

Em D G

They live by a six-gun, by a six-gun they die.


Em G

It's been a long time now since the town was a boon.

Em D

The jailhouse is empty, so's the Palace Saloon.

G

Just one look will tell you that this town was real.

Em D G

A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill.


Em G

Walk up to the fence there and look at the view;

Em D

That's where they were hangin', eighteen-eighty-two.

G

It's easy to see where the brave men died;

Em D G

Rope marks on the old tree are now petrified.


Em G

At night, when the moon shines so far away,

Em D

It gets mighty lonesome, lookin' down on their graves.

G

There lies Billy Klen; never wanted to kill,

Em D G

but he's there with the guilty, way up on Boot Hill.
