_ _ _ _ [B] Those other years, those dusty years, when we drove [F#] the big [C#] herds through, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] I tried to
forget the miles we [B] rode, [F#] _ _
the [C#] Spanish Johnny Ewe. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] He'd sit beside a water ditch _ when all his [C#] herds was in, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and he'd [B] never harm a child.
He [F#]
sang to his [C#] man. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
He _ _ [G#m] sang the old [B] songs, the old talk, _ and the dealings of [C#] our gang.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The [B] Spanish Johnny seldom spook, _ [F#] _
_ _ sang the [C#] songs of Spock. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And his [B] talk with men was vicious talk, _ _ when he was drunk on [C#] gin. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But [B] those were golden things he said _ [F#] to _ _ his [C#] man then.

_ _ _ _ [B] We had to stand, we had to judge, _ _ we had to [C#] stop him then.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ You [B] see those hands so gentle to a child, _ [F#] _
_ it killed so [C#] many men.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ He [B] died a hard death long ago, _ before the roads [C#] came in. _
_ _ _ _ [B] And the night before he swung, _ [F#] he sung _ to his [C#] man again. _ _ _ _ _

_ [B] We carried him out in the morning light, _ _ a man who'd done no [C#] good. _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] We laid him down on the cold, cold clay, _ [F#] _
_ stuck in a cross [C#] of wood. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And [B] then a letter we wrote to his kinfolk, _ _ _ to tell them where [C#] he'd been.

_ _ _ _ [B] We shipped it on down to Mexico, _ _ [F#] _
