THE BALLAD OF BOOT HILL
Album: Ballads of the True West 

KEY: Ab / CAPO: 1 / PLAY: G

INTRO:
Here lies less more 
Four slugs from a forty-four
No less no more

VERSE:
N/C       Em                 G
Out in Arizona just south to sun
G                    Em                    D
Were the tumbleweeds tumble in search of a home
D                                                       G
There's a town they call Tombstone were the brave never cry
G              Em     D                  G   
They live by a six-gun by a six-gun they die

VERSE:
It's been a long time now since the town was a boom
The jailhouse is empty so's the Palace Saloon
Just one look will tell you that this town was real
A secluded old dirt road leads up to Boot Hill

VERSE:
Walk up to the fence there and look at the view
That's where they were hanging eighteen-eighty-two
It's easy to see where the brave men have died
Rope marks on the oak tree are now petrified

VERSE:
At night when the moon shines so far away
It gets mighty lonesome looking down on the graves
There lies Billie Clanton never wanted to kill
But he's there with the guilty way up on Boot Hill
