[B] [G]
But it was summertime when we hit that [C] wall from the top to the ground was a 10-foot [D] fall and the dogs were waiting
on the [G] other side
We'd planned for years while others [C] tried and some got caught and others died
[D] Most of them got shot [G] by the bounty hunter
We waited the river with the hounds close [C] by and we knew right then it was do or die
[D] And we'd come too far to try and turn [G] back now
The old men swore and the young men [C] cursed me.
I damn near died of thirst
[D] We lost the dogs, but not [G] the bounty hunter
Now the bounty hunter doesn't have no [C] friends just the snakes in the mountains in the river
[D] He'd hunt you down if it took all [G] night and day
It was money he wanted nothing more
[C] He'd sold himself like some old [D] whore and there wasn't no man hated [G] more than the bounty hunter
He was sitting there on that mountain [C] top
Thinking we was too tough to stop [D] when we heard a voice saying [G] all right you men freeze
Tie yourselves up with this rope.
[C] Well, he caught us now and we'd lost [D] all hope
Of ever getting free from [G] the bounty hunter
We knew what was waiting and so did [C] he if we got a chance we'd all break [D] free
Try our best to take him [G] to the ground
It was hot and sweaty on the way back [C] down and the mouth streams were a man to [D] drown
Seemed to be a part of the [G] bounty hunter
With our heads bent low like beaten men
[C] We walked up hill and back again [D] and the dust was choking hot as [G] the new day sun
We knew the war to be waiting there
[C] Sitting in that old rocking chair
[D] The only one who did not care [G] was the bounty hunter
Now the story goes that we tried to run [C] but the truth is when we saw the gun
[D] We also saw the [G] shotgun on the roof.
Our hands were tied.
We could not move
[C] They shot us down and who could prove
[D] We never tried to run the [G] bounty hunter I
Laid there just like all the rest.
[C] I knew I had to try my best
[D] Act like I was dead.
That [G] was hard
With bullets flying here [C] and there and bodies lying everywhere
[D] Everyone was dead
Except me in the [G] bounty hunter
