Verse
F#
Those other years, the dusty years
G#
When we drove the big herds through
F#
I tried to forget the miles we rode
G#
And Spanish Johnny too
[Verse 2]
F# G#
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all his herd was in
F# C# G#
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin
F#
He sang the old songs, the old ways,
G#
and the dealins' of our game
F# G#
Spanish Johnny seldom spoke, but sang songs of Spain
[Verse 3]
F#
And his talk with men was vicious talk
G#
When he was drunk on gin
F# C# G#
Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin
[GUITAR SOLO]
[vERSE 4]
F#
We had to stand, we had to judge,
G#
We had to stop him then
F# G#
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
[vERSE 5]
F# G#
He died a hard death long ago before the roads came in
F# C# G#
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin
F#
Well, we carried him out in the mornin' light
G#
a man who done no good
F#
And we lowered him down in the cold cold clay
G#
Stuck in a cross of wood
F#
And a letter he wrote to his kinfolk
G#
To tell them where he'd been
F#
And we shipped it on down to Mexico,
C# G# F#
Along with his mandolin
