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