Verse 1

 CDrossed the desert in a diBmning car

 IDn the spring of '91 Bm

 MDet some people drinkin' atBm the bar,

 TAhey were laughin', havin' fun

Told 'em that I hadn't heard the joke

That was so hilarious

They said that I was just a dumb cowpoke

I didn't want to make a fuss

Chorus

 SGo I shot them dowAn, one by one

 ADnd left them 'long the raGils

 ID only use my gun

 WAhenever kindneBmss fails

Verse 2

Moon was in the sign of Scorpio

The sun was at my back

I didn't know how far the train would go

Till the law would find my track

Saw the brakeman and the engineer

Drinking wine and eating brie

I asked them who would brake and who would steer

They started pointing back at me

Chorus

Solo

Repeat chords in chorus

Verse 3

I only have a momment to explain

Just a chance to let you know

When it's time to board that train

There are 2 ways you can go.

You can ride the wind into the sun

Feel a cool wind on your face

Or you can laugh into a loaded gun

And you'll likely lose your place

Chorus

Yeah I shot them down, one by one

And left them 'long the rails

I only use my gun

Whenever kindness fails

I shot them down, one by one

And left them 'long the rails

When I use my gun

That lonesome whistle wails
