A D (4 times)
(WIND & A GALLOPING HORSE)
A G
the poster on the wall tells me I'm a bad man
D E
tells me I'm a mad man
A
tells me I'm a wanted man
A G
the one who makes me fall will be such a glad man
D E
five thousand dollars in his hand
A
makes me such a hunted man
E
they left me with a Navy colt
E/G# A
a heart that's bitter and a spirit that's broke
E/G#
got to steal from the railroads, steal from the banks
A
take it all back from the thieving Yanks
E
just to keep alive
Bm D
they only way I can survive
A G D E A
A G D E A
(ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOLO)
A G
the newspapers call me desperado
D E
a man who lives real low
A
well, how the hell would they know
A
what it's like to come back and find
G
your sweetheart dead
D E
your home destroyed and your family fled
A
all I want is to see blood shed
E
this war taught me how to kill
E/G# A
a man can only live by his will
E/G#
put a gun in your hand, mask on your face
A
crawl through life, live in disgrace
E
try to settle the score
Bm D
remember what I had before
G D
G D
Polly, forgive me
G D
but you died at their hands
G D
goin' to make them pay
G D
take all that I can
G D
your dying eyes
G D
haunt my mind
G D
going' to make them bleed
G D
they'll pay in time
G D
they're damned unjust
G D
with their twisted laws
G D
they want to take my life
G D
but they could've saved yours
G D
your dying eyes
haunt my mind
