A             E             A
Born under a south Kentucky sky
F#m                   D     A
He'd come west to Mexico to fight 
D
1842 at Mier
    F#m                  
The gutters filled with blood and fear
A              E              A
Barely made it back to Texas alive

     A             E                     A
With Missouri Volunteers when the war began
    F#m                 D   A 
In '46 they crossed the Rio Grande
D                 
There he met his dark-eyed love
    F#m
But said good bye when the war was done
   A                    E             A
He swore that he'd come back for her again

D         A
Oh oh novia
F#m        D      A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
          F#m                
But we'll take what God has left us
          A             E               A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn

A                   E          A
Worked his way back to Old Mexico
   F#m                            D      A
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
D        
Back to those same city walls
      F#m                  
Where he'd watched copper cannonballs
      A                 E              A
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones

     A              E           A
They put him in a prison left alone
     F#m                   D        A
With other yankee fools so far from home
   D
Parade them through the square in chains
      F#m                  
'Till in rode Captain Glanton's gang
 A                 E               A
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold


D         A
Oh oh novia
F#m        D       A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
          F#m               
But we'll take what God has left us
          A             E               A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn


 A                 E              A
Glanton's men were killers all by trade
    F#m                       D        A
And through the prison bars a deal was made
 D         
Glanton needed three new men
   F#m                
He hired the lovelorn veteran
     A                E                      A
The killers rode out through the governor's gates


     A           E                     A
The Veteran left camp 'fore the rising sun
    F#m                       D      A
No killer he'd left all their work undone
D
He was not yet two days out
     F#m             
When Glanton's naked native scouts
        A              E                       A
Brought back his empty horse and his brand new gun


D         A
Oh oh novia
F#m        D      A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
          F#m              
But we'll take what God has left us
          A             E               A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn

D         A
Oh oh novia
F#m        D      A
Oh oh your man is gone
D
Maybe he's in Texas
          F#m               
But we'll take what God has left us
           A            E               A
And we'll leave for California with the dawn
