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