Intro
G6sus4   G x2

Verse 1
G6sus4                         G
I woke up again before the sun did
G6sus4                              G       
turned on the tube and there on the screen
Am                            G        
I watched Miss Kitty smile at Festus
G6sus4                G (let ring)
rerun of Gun Smoke on TV

G6sus4         G     

G6sus4                           G
Those outlaws just outside Dodge City
G6sus4                             G    
Found out the hard way crime don't pay
Am                         G        
That silver star under tan leather
G6sus4                              G
worn by the men who always save the day


Chorus 1
      C                  G6/B
And I watched the way it used to be
      Am                 G
no it ain't that way these days
C                     G6/B
life was fair, it was black and white
        Am            G
and the law man kept us safe
           C                  G6/B
Now the bad guys win and the good guys die
    Am                  G
and times they sure have changed
Am                                C
oh Marshal Dillon where did we go wrong
                           G6sus4          G
won't you put your badge back on

G6sus4          G

Verse 2
Man I hate to see those credits rolling
that was one of my favorite episodes
Then I hear that famous whistle
and see Opie throwing rocks with his fishing pole


Chorus 2

And I watched the way it used to be
no it ain't that way these days
life was fair, it was black and white
and the law man kept us safe
Now the bad guys win and the good guys die
and times sure have changed
God help us Andy where did we go wrong
won't you put your badge back on
won't you put your badge back on


Bridge
    C                         G6/B                        
Hey Barney, you best take that bullet 
                               Am           D (w/ hammer on)
from your pocket and load your gun

Chorus 4
Yea, I watch the way it used to be
but it ain't that way these days
life ain't fair, it's not black and white
but I still hold on to faith
and the bad guys don't have to win no more
good guys don't have to die
every law abiding man who knows right from wrong
won't you put your badge back on
won't you put your badge back on
won't you put your badge back on
