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