Intro: Strum D and FFD
Bartender, I know youre a reasonable man
FD
Looks like you got the run of this place
FD
Set me up a round so that I can see your hands
FD
And wipe the goddamned smile off of your face
G
Im sure you must have heard of me, Im lightning with my Smith
FD
And my reputation burns all through the west
FD
So if you know what is good for you, shut up and get the whiskey
FD
And not that trade stuff, I want nothin but your best
DGD
And pour em kinda strong cause I wont be here long
F#mGAD
You best not do me wrong, just pour em kinda strong
DFD
I aint got time to savour em, I gotta drink em quick
DFD
Ive conveyed my urgency, I hope
DFD
If they catch me its all over, Ill be way on up the creek
DFD
And Ill be swingin on the wrong end of a rope
G
The posses been behind me now for six or seven days
DFD
Only two hours back and chewin on my dust
DFD
I got a powerful thirst I come in here to try to slake
DFD
So serve it up or draw down if you must
Or something like that. Play with it.
FD
Well I wasn’t really watchin you, my eyes was on the door
DF
Imagine my surprise to hear the cock
DFD
Of that .32 that left me here to bleed out on your floor
DFD
Im too far gone to bother with the doc
G
Well I wasnt really watchin you, my eyes was to the east
FD
You know, to dull the pain I could use one more
DFD
You surely wont deny a man a dyin drink at least
DFD
Im awful embarrassed at how I spoke to you before
DGD
So pour em kinda strong cause I won’t be here long
F#mGAD
Mister, please dont do me wrong, just pour em kinda strong
FD
You surely wont deny a dyin man a drink at least
FD
Im awful embarrassed at how I spoke to you before
