_ _ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ was sitting in the thirst of devil, one sheet hung to the wind, [B] when the back window
creaked [F#] open and a stranger sauntered in.
[C#] He moved his head from side to side and glared with a sunken eye, [B] I heard the spin of a rusty
spur as he shook off the dreary [C#] night. _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] He lowered his hat and checked his gun and headed toward the [B] bar.
He walked on up beside [F#] me, I knew he'd traveled [C#m] far.
In a voice as thick as mud he looked at the keep and said,
[B] One shot of whiskey for myself, _ and one for my [C#m] new friend. _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ Spagastello, they say you [B] be afraid, as [F#] Elphalucetan stood right up and walked out [D#] of its grave.
[C#] His face was shallow and dirty, his skin like leather hide.
[B] Sure he spoke like any [F#] man, but something wasn't right.
So I [C#m] twisted on my stool and turned to him and said,
[B] Thank you sir, but just the [F#] same, I'm chasing worms instead.
[C#] He growled and shoved the drink my way, his eyes as cold as death.
[B] I picked the drink, shoved it back, _ _ held strong against [C#] my hand.
_ _ [B] When [F#] six to midnight [C#] and the falling end of death, [B] now you've had a drink, your drinking [C#] shuts your mouth.
_ [B] If you draw [F#] against his hand, [C#] you can never win.
[G#m] _ _ _ _
Drink with the living [C#] dead. _ _
_ _ _ _ What the hell do you think you are?
My patience growing [B] thin.
But swallow [F#] hard, I had to do when the story [C#] began.
His little girl back and words came forth, starting up the [B] tale.
And every [F#] place inside that bar, it turned a shade of pale.
[C#] My name is Stanton Creed, and I died three years before.
[B] I shot a man to steal his drink, [F#] at least that's what they hung me [C#m] for.
Now I'm cursed to walk the earth and challenge every knight.
[B] A man to match me, drink for drink, _ _ or buy the bullet [C#] and die.

_ [B] If you draw [F#] against his hand, [C#] you can never win.
[G#] Go ahead, _ _ drink with the living [G#] dead. _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [C#] Now wait a minute, mister, no one makes me a fool.
[B] I put a shot of whiskey [F#] back on over at George's school.
[C#] I love a drink like any man, but that's a losing game.
[B] To drink and draw against the dead [F#] would only be insane.
[C#] Stanton Creed, he tipped his hat and laughed his wicked laugh.
[B] You see, the Lord cursed my soul [F#] for killing that poor man.
[C#] There ain't no choice, so you must try to match me shot for shot.
[B] If you win, then you'll go free, _ _ and I can finally [C#] rot.
_ _ [B] When six to midnight [C#] and the falling end of death, now [B] you've had a drink, your drinking shuts [C#] your mouth.

[D#] The bar hopped not as slowly, and I knew that I was screwed.
_ If I chose to duel the dead, [Em] then I would surely lose.
_ [D#] So I took the glass and threw the shot to my throat. _
[E] I would match him drink for drink, no matter if I_

[G#] Whiskey, [C#m] tequila, vodka, rum or gin.

[C#] So into the morning, I matched him ounce for ounce.
[B] Till Stanton Creed fell over, [F#] and the winner was announced.
[C#] Now I rest in his pine box, and I still walk the streets.
[B] But I don't forget the night when [F#] death had chosen me.
[C#] There ain't no fancy moral to go with this affair.
[B] Less shame to kill a man. _ _
