The Skies of Lincoln County
Em D Em D Em
Em D
My name is William Bonny and I have some things to tell
Em D
All about my life 'n death and the way things are in Hell
C Em C G
And lies they told about me after Garrett shot me down
D
In Mexico, in 1881
Em D
Twenty one were the lives that Garrett said I took
Em D
That was just another lie he wrote down in his book
C Em C G
For he had to make it seem as though I were the Devils seed
D
but the lives I took, they were three
C G
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
C G D
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
C G
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
D
The only difference now, is I'm not here
C Em
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
Em D
B man who'd lie to save his skin won't look you in the eye
Em D
Garrett never saw my face when he let those bullets fly
C Em C G
And I died there in Pete Maxwell's room, no boots upon my feet
D
In the dark, and all alone
Em D
They had themselves an inquest, and then they buried me
Em D
They made me into something that I never meant to be
C Em C G
And the vultures came and chipped away the headstone on my grave
D
And then took it home, for souvenirs
C G
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
C G D
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
C G
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
D
The only difference now, is I'm not here
C Em
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
C G
History books are written by the ones who survive
C G
Garrett was the one who came out of that room alive
C Em C G
And he harnessed up my ghost, made it sing and dance
D
And I am dancing still, I'm dancing still
Em D
The corners of my Hell, they never ever change
Em D
I am doomed forever to this little piece of range
C Em C G
Trapped here by a legend that's no making of my own
D
I look around, and I see.
C Em
It's still New Mexico and it's 1881
C G
And the skies of Lincoln County were as blue as blue could be
C G D
And the sun that shines on you, well it used to shine on me
C G
And I knew the smell of woodsmoke and I liked the taste of beer
D
The only difference now, is I'm not here
C Em
I'm in New Mexico and it's 1881
C Em
It's still New Mexico and it's 1881
