There's an old [A] story in New Mexico about _ _ [Dm] the [G] night Billy the Kid met _ Geronimo. _ _
_ _ [C] In a Lordsburg barroom [F] they spoke [C] their minds, _ _ _ _ _ [D] one hand on their [C] pistols and cold blood in their eyes.
_ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Billy the Kid said [D] to [A] Geronimo, _ _ _ _ [D]
my mother died young and left [G] me all alone.
_ _ _ _ [C] So I grew up wild, my gun my [C] best friend. _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] I killed 21 men and I'd kill them _ [C] all again. _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Geronimo said [Dm] I've nowhere left to hide, _ _ _
_ [C] the land of my [G] birth I don't recognize.
_ _ _ _ [C] There's railroads and barbed wire and towns without end. _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] My people are scattered [G] like leaves [C] to the wind. _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Billy the Kid [Dm] said we're just the same. _ _ _
_ _ We're cursed and we're damned as [G] they whisper our names.
_ _ _ [C] We're hunted, we're hated, we're feared and revived _ by _ _ _ [Dm] every God fearing [C] man, woman _ _ and child.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ Geronimo said no [Dm] we're not the same. _ _ _
_ [C] For the harm that I've done [G] I feel great shame.
_ _ _ [C] But I fought for my family, my tribe and my land. _
_ _ _ Yet [Dm] we'll pay the same [C] price for the blood on our _ hands.
[A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Morning sun [Dm] rose and the coyotes cried. _ _
[F] A cheer a cow and the outlaw [G] said goodbye.
_ _ _ _ [C] The road crossed the desert [F] their separate [C] ways. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] One prison bound and the [F] other to [C] his young grave. _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ One prison bound [F] and the other [C] to his young grave.
