Chords for Hank Snow The Man Behind The Gun

The man [A] behind [Bb] the gun
They gave me the job of a sheriff
_ Because I'm good with [F] a gun
_ Now how could I ever refuse them
They really needed [Bb] someone
I tried to explain to my baby
_ But still she left me [G] one day
[F] She said she'd return to me only
When I threw my six-gun [Bb] away
_ [Eb] And I'm not supposed to be lonely
To need or love [Bb] anyone
_ I'm just supposed to [F] be only
The man behind [Bb] the gun
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ Then one day she sent me a letter
_ She said, I want you [F] to know
I miss you and my heart is breaking
I love you and I [Bb] need you so
The stage it was leaving next morning
I'd be on that stage [F] without fail
Then someone shot old Jimmy Taylor
And I took out [Bb] on his trail
[Eb] But I'm not supposed to be lonely
To need or love [Gm] anyone
_ I'm just supposed to [G] be only
[F] The man behind [Bb] the gun _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ Well, three weeks it took, I remember
Before I tracked [F] the man down
And when I returned with the prisoner
It was the talk [Gm] of the town
[Bb] Too late to go to my baby
They buried her deep [C] in the clay
[F] I spent all these hours in the saddle
And I draw a heartache [Bb] for pay
[Eb] But he's not supposed to be lonely
To need or love [Bb] anyone
_ I'm just supposed [F] to be only
The man [Bb] behind the gun
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
