Marty Robbins - Big Iron Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _
[C#m] _ To the town of [E] Albuquerque rode [C#m] a stranger one fine day.
_ [E] Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to [C#m] say. _ _
[C#] [A] No one dared to ask his business, [E] no one dared to make a slip.
The stranger there among them [C#m] had a big iron on his hip, big iron on [E] his hip. _ _
_ [B] It was early [E] in the morning [C#m] when he rode into the town.
_ _ [E] He came riding from the south side, slowly looking [C#m] all around. _ _
[A] He's an outlaw, loose and running, [E] came the whisper from each lip.
And he's here to do some business with a big [C#m] iron on his hip, [E] big iron on his hip. _ _ _
_ In this town there lived an outlaw [C#m] by the name of Texas Red.
_ _ Many [E] men had tried to take him and that many [C#m] men were dead. _ _
He [A] was vicious and a killer, [E] though he was twenty-four.
And the notches on his pistol numbered one in nineteen more, one in nineteen _ more. _ _
Now the stranger started talking, made [G#] it plain to [C#m] folks around him.
_ Was [E] an Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in [C#m] town. _
He [A] came here to take an outlaw [E] back alive or maybe dead.
And he said it didn't [C#] matter, he [C#m] was after Texas Red, [E] after Texas _ Red. _ _
_ Wasn't long before the [C#m] story was relayed to Texas Red.
_ _ But the [G#m] outlaw didn't worry men that tried [C#m] before were dead. _ _
[E] _ _ [A] Twenty men had tried to take him, [E] twenty men had made a slip.
Twenty-one would be the ranger [C#m] with a big iron on his hip, big iron on [E] his hip.
_ _ _ The morning passed so quickly it [G#] was time for them [C#m] to meet.
_ _ [E] It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the [C#m] street.
_ _ [A] Folks were watching from the windows, [E] everybody held their breath.
They knew this handsome ranger [C#m] was about to meet his death, [A] about to meet [E] his death.
_ _ _ There was forty feet between them when they [C#m] stopped to make their play. _ _ _
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about today.
_ _ Texas [A] Red did not learn leather or [E] a bullet fairly ripped.
And the ranger's aim was deadly with a big iron [C#m] on his hip, [A] big iron [E] on his hip.
_ _ _ It was over in a moment and [G#] the folks had gathered [C#m] round. _ _
[E] There before them lay the body [G#m] of the outlaw [C#m] on the ground.
_ _ _ [G#] [A] Oh, he might have went on living, [E] but he made one fatal slip.
When he tried to match the ranger [C#m] with a big iron on his hip, [A] big [E] iron on his hip.
_ _ _ [A] Big iron, [E] big iron.
_ When he tried to match the ranger with a big [C#m] iron on his hip, [A] big iron on [E] his hip.
