Johnny Cash - The Ballad of Boot Hill: chords

G#
Here lies Les Moore,
D#
four slugs from a forty-four,
           G#
no Les no more.

          Fm                      G#
Out in Arizona, just south of Tucson,
                   Fm                    D#
where tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home,
                                                          G#
there's a town they call Tombstone where the brave never cry.
                Fm    D#                   G#
They live by a six-gun, by a six-gun they die.

It's been a long time now since the town was a boom.
The jailhouse is empty, so's the Palace Saloon.
Just one look will tell you that this town was real.
A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill.

Walk up to the fence there and look at the view
That's where they were hanging eighteen eighty two
It's easy to see where the brave men have died
Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified

At night when the moon shines so far away
It gets mighty lonesome looking down on their graves
There lies Billy Clanton never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
