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