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