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