_ It's a long dark dirty road, _
[F] _ but a pot [C] full of gold. _
[E] And I've been out here now, _
[Am] _ all on my own. _ _

_ [Am] _ _ _ _ 1955. _
[F] Born _ _ [C] into a deen of strife, [E] _ I laid my _ head on [Am] that _ Milligan Creek bed. _
[G] _ [Am] _ _ When I was a young man, _ [F] I helped build [C] this land.
You know [E] I put down these rails as [Am] a _ CPR man. _
_ _ Thought I'd live forever, _ [F] _ with my [C] heart in my pocket.
On [E] my gun, by my _ side, and my [Am] feelings in a locket.
_ _ _ Well that was a cold year _ [F] _ in [C] 77, _ _ [E] when I married my wife. _
_ [Am] _ We had two kids. _
_ _ _ I gave her a daughter, _
_ [F] she gave me [C] a son.
And we [E] rode those damn horses _ [Am] until we had none. _ _
_ This still light fire, _ _
[F] _ doing [C] things for dying.
[E] I should have put that old gun [Am] _ away, _ _ _ _ _
[F] but _ I _ _ _
_ [G] am a _ broken [Am] cowboy. _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ A father's worst dream, _ _ [F] _ my [C] son went down and [E] _ _ _ _ _
I_ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ The colors deceived me, [F] _ cause I [C] see grey.
_ [G] _ [E] _ Cut me down with _ those [Am] _ gold words you're saying.
_ _ Then you called me brother, _ [F] _ _ but this [C] can't be so.
