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