_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] There's a whole lot of holes [C] in Sweetwater County, [Em]
the jackrabbits and the coyotes run,
the red desert [C] rolls on forever, _ [D] _
blood red [Am] in the setting sun, _
_ _ _ [Em] the marijuana [C] and the
cocaine highway, [Em] _ the federales [C] couldn't keep it clean, [Em] _ state troopers [C] start off the right
[D] way, big money's [Am] just a lawman's dream, and [G] there's a whole lot of holes [D] in Sweetwater
County, [A] [Am] one lone deputy [C]
upheld the law, he [G] was a black belt [D] in Kwando karate, [Am] and a master
of [C] the old quick draw, he [D] gave them hell, _ _ [Bm] _
_ Ed [Em] _ Cantrell.

[C] _ _ [Em] Was a slow drive down [C] to the silver dollar bar, [Em] _ take it slow [C] sergeant callous you drive,
there [Em] was a crooked smile [C] in the rear view mirror, [D] or it might have made [Am] it home [A] alive,
_ but _ [Em] his Rosa reached down [C] for his ankle gun, _ [E]
Cantrell saw the flash [C] through the thunderhead
sky, and [Em] he was spitting lead [C] before the crash of thunder, [D] a 38 special [Am] right between the
eyes, and [G] there's a whole lot of holes [D] in Sweetwater County, [Am]
one lone [C] deputy upheld
the law, he [G] was a black belt [D] in Kwando karate, [Am] and a master of [C] the old quick draw, he [D] gave
them hell, _ [Bm] _ _ Ed [Em] _

_ _ _ [Em] _ found Ed [C]
Cantrell not guilty, [Em] though some say he [C] should have died in jail, [Em] he went
back [C] to Sweetwater County, [D] _ ready to take [Am] on the whole _ cartel, _ _ _ [Em] _
the cattle rustlers [C] and
the low dive [D] dealers, [Em]
they swept bullets [C] when they heard his name, [Em]
the [E] money and [C] the drugs
quit running, [D] he was one for the law [Am] man, hall of fame, and [G] there's a whole lot of holes
[D] _ in Sweetwater County, [Am]
one lone [C] deputy upheld the law, he [G] was a black belt [D] in Kwando karate,

_ _ [D] _ [Am] _ [Em] So to all you criminals, [C] the two-bit outlaw, [Em]
you drug runners and [C] murdering [Em] thieves, you
might go scot [C]-free in this [D] life, but you better watch out [A] when you [Am] leave, _
_ [Em] cause if you're
headed where the [C] brimstone burns and boils, [Em] after hot black [C] gaping jaws of [Em] hell, there's
a five star standing [C] with a 38 pistol, [D] it's gold badge [G] [Am] deputy Ed [D] Cantrell, and [G] there's
a whole lot of holes [D] in Sweetwater County, [Am] one lone [C] deputy upheld the law, he [G] was a black
belt [D] in Kwando karate, [Am] and a master of [C] the old quick draw, he [D] gave them hell, _ [Bm] _
