[A]
[F#m] it [E] stands a [D] blazing wick The smoke [F#m] it pours out honey thick
[A] Down in the [D] lonesome draw My bones all [A] snared in midnight's jaws
[F#] The kingdom [E] of the [D] great prairie Is home to you and [F#m] home to me
[E] Born in Wadingham [D] and Hall Shattered like [A] old Dempsey's jaw
[F#m] Railroad men go [D] pushing west A scar laid out on [F#] mother's breast
[A] [E] What brings liquor and [D] what brings gold It bears a [A] young and saves the old
[F#m] It's a short time here [E] and a [D] long time gone The workmen sing the [F#m] people's song
[E] Down [C#m] in the [D] lonesome draw The sun it bakes the rawhide [A] and raw
If you don't like Dodge you [E] can always go [A] to Abilene
I hear the getting's plenty and [E] the grass is [A] always green
You can always head to Kansas City where [E] they pave all [A] of their roads

[F#m] And no one [E] still can [D] understand What [B] life is like in the [E] [F#m] borderland
[C#] But [E] here's to the [D] great [F#m] expanse
[D] Where every day the [A] poisonous lives
