The Ballad of Boot Hill Johnny Cash
KEY: Ab / CAPO: 1 / PLAY: G
INTRO:
Here lies less more
Four slugs from a forty-four
No less no more
VERSE:
N/C Em G
Out in Arizona just south to sun
[G]Were the tumbleweeds [Em]tumble in search of a [D]home
[D]There's a town they call Tombstone were the brave never [G]cry
[G]They live by a [Em]six-gun[D] by a six-gun they [G]die
VERSE:
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
VERSE:
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
VERSE:
At night when the moon shines so far away
It gets mighty lonesome looking down on the graves
There lies Billie Clanton never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
