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