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