Verse
C# F# C#
Come hear the story of Bart McGee,
G#
Inyo County deputy 1873
F# C# A#m
Chavez gang was running wild, raising hell
C# G# C#
Bart tracked 'em but things did not go well
A#m C#
Them bandits circled 'round and they caught him unaware
A#m G#
Took him to their hideout, tied him to a chair
A#m C#
They spent the night talking 'bout the things they could do
G# C#
To Bart McGee before they got through
A#m C#
Maybe they would skin him or drag him from a horse
A#m G#
Maybe they would hang him, they might shoot him of course
A#m C#
Bart just sat there as if he hadn't heard,
G# C#
Through it all he never said a word
[Verse 2]
C# F# C#
Yeah this was desert country, all sagebrush and wind
G#
Beyond the Saline Valley, where hopes run mighty thin
F# C# A#m
Them bandits drank their whiskey and just outside the door
C# G# C#
Was a bronco mule they'd stole the day before.
A#m C#
Them bandits roped that mule and they tied to the shack
A#m G#
Stripped ol' Bart naked and they stuck him on its back
A#m C#
And they turned him around 'til he was pointed East
G# C#
And they tied his legs together underneath
A#m C#
They untied that mule and they slapped it on the rear
A#m G#
It went crackin' through the sagebrush like a wild deer
A#m C#
They kept Bart's horse, his saddle and his guns
G# C#
And they figure Bart McGee's days were done.
[Verse 3]
C# F# C#
Well that mule tried to buck him off, and through the choya danced
G#
Bart knew that stayin' with him, was his only chance
F# C# A#m
Ol' Bart had fought the Paiute and he'd killed a grizzly bear
C# G# C#
And he could ride anything with hair
A#m C#
Well the sun burnt his naked butt and the wind chapped him dry
A#m G#
And he broiled like bacon, underneath that desert sky
A#m C#
He'd slap that mule upside the head to turn him left or right
G# C#
It was handlin' good when the moon come up that night
A#m C#
He made fifty miles, it ended none too soon
A#m G#
He topped the hill at Cerro Gordo that next afternoon
A#m C#
The drunks outside the Gem Saloon could not believe their eyes
G# C#
When a naked man on a mule trotted by.
[Verse 4]
C# F# C#
We all asked what happened, Bart never said a word
G#
He yanked out the cactus thorns, put ointment on his burns.
F# C# A#m
And he bought a horse and rifle and set out on his way
C# G# C#
But what he meant to do he wouldn't say
A#m C#
A# week went by without a word and we all feared the worst
A#m G#
Had them bandits got him, had he died of thirst?
A#m C#
Finally he come ridin' back leadin' his old horse
G# C#
And he also had his hat and guns of course
A#m C#
And the robbin' and killin' all came to an end.
A#m G#
Not one of that Chavez gang was ever seen again.
A#m C#
We asked Bart about it, and when we'd asked enough
G# C#
He said "I just went back and got my stuff"
[Refrain]
C# F# C#
Come hear the story of Bart McGee
G#
Inyo County deputy 1873
F# C# A#m
And you know he kept that mule for the rest of its life
C# G# C#
And he treated it better than some men treat their wives
A#m C# A#m G# A#m C# G# C#
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, a a huh, uh huh, ohh ho oh oh, oh ohho oh oh
