[D] I
[A] left [E] [C#m]
[A] the ranch early, [D] had some business in town, [A] and out to the west [E] it was looking [G] like rain.
[A] I was there on the [D] outskirts and covering ground [A] when the [E] clouds opened up [A] and the [E] downpour came.
[A] I took [D] shelter in a church just [A] inside the door, stood [E] there in the [G] reverent quiet, [A] when
I heard the voice of [D] a man speaking low, [A] kneeling [E] up near the front [A] in the half-fading [E] light.
[A] He said, [D] Lord, it's [A] been a while since I've been in your house.
[E] I've [G] lived by the gun [A] and I've broken your laws, [D] earned myself the name [A] Gunslinger, [E] faced
a dozen [A] men [E] and beat them all.
[A] Each [D] one was just another notch on the [A] handle of a gun, [E] another [G] black mark [A] against my soul.
[D] Now I'm weary of it all, [A] but I can't run.
[E] I'm [A] doomed to play this [E]
Gunslinger [A] role.
[D] There's another young kid that I'm going to have [A] to face.
He wants [E] the reputation [G] killing me [A] would bring.
That's why I'm [D] here, Lord, trying to clean [A] the slate.
[E] And [A] Lord, [E] here's what I'm offering.
[A] Today [D] his draw will be lightning fast [A] and mine, [E] well, it'll be [G] a little bit slower.
[A] Forgive [D] what you can of this Gunslinger's past, [G#] [B] because I don't aim to [A] sin anymore.
The rain [D] had stopped, so I slipped away.
[A] The man never knew I was [B] there.
[G] [C#m] He lay dead an hour later.
[A] [D] Beaten, they say.
[F] But I'd [A#] heard that Gunslinger's prayer.
