[G] _ [D] _ _ Did you have to _ put quizzes up here?
You're just good with that.
It was [Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _

Goodbye to the family, [G] goodbye to the shore,

the night as before, [G] [D] Juneteenth, _ _ [Em] _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ a boat on the ocean,
[G] toss like a coral, [D] and one fine morning recited New York,

On a train from St.
Louis, just a [G] one-jump ahead,
[D]
he slept one eye [G] open, [D] the sixth gone in bed,

[D] while crossing the plains [G] where [D] the buffalo roam.

Well, they called him the Kid, by twenty [G]-one, _
[D] all that he knew [G] was the [D] power of the gun,

_ _ _ _ Now there's [Em] moans on the desert, [D] _ _ [G] buzzards that fly,
