[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ [Bm] Gather round and a [D] story I will tell
_ _ [F#m] _
[D] About the [A] gunslinger [D] Diamond Bell
She _ [G] was the [A] reigning terror [Bm] of the West _
[G] A [D] vision in a [Bm] scarlet [A] carriage [D] dress
_ _ [A] [D] With thirty shining diamonds on a barrel
_ [A] _ [D] Fitted [A] always in a [D] red apparel
She _
[G] reveled [A] more in murder [Bm] and in gore
_ [G] Than [D] anyone who's worked [A] the job before
[D] _ [A] I [G] was [D] only a kid from Arkansas
_ [G] [F#m] I _ [D] never [A] had a run-in [Em] with [D] the law _ _
[G] Till I ran [A] and I stumbled and [Bm] I fell
In [G] _
[D] love [Em] with the [Bm] bandit [A] Diamond Bell
[G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] Diamond [B] Bell, [D] _ [G] are you now? _
_ [Em] _ Over [A] the [D] meadow, [Bm] through the _ trees
_ [A] _ [D] _ [A] For [E] _ [D] seven long months we rode the trail
_ _ [A] _ _ [D]
Camping [A] out along the [D] Union Rail
It [G] was all [A] in the merry month [Bm] of May
_ When we [G] [Bm] landed a job to kill a judge in [A] Cassaday
[D] She spoke as we trampled through the heat
[F#m] She said, the [D] boys from Kansas know I'm hard to beat
_ _ [G] Then turning [A] with a grin she [Bm] says to me
We're [G] going [D] on a [Em] [Bm] Kansas [A] killin'
_ _ [G] _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[A] Over _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _
[A] the meadow, [Bm] _ through the _ _ _ _ [A] [Dm] trees
[A] _ Well [D] the courtroom gallery was full
When [F#m]
[D] she put her [A] bullet through the [D] judge's skull
We [G] made a bold [A] dash [Bm] across the plume
And [G] bullets [Bm] flew around us [A] like rain
_ In a [D] Dodge City motel I awoke
_ [F#m]
I [D] was chained [A] by the ankle [D] to a bedpost
_ _ [G] Surrounded [A] by a dozen [Bm] volunteers _
And [G] it took me [Bm] all [Em] my [Bm] strength to [A] fight the [Bm] cure
_ [G] _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[A] Diamond [D] Bell, _ [G] are you now?
_ _ [Em] _ Over [A] the meadow, [D] _ through [Bm] the _ _ _ [A] trees
[D] _
Well there's Mexican girls who sing and tell
_ _ [F#m] _ _
[D] [A] Songs of the bandit [D] Diamond Bell
But [G] of me [A] this is all the [C#] song [Bm] I got
And [G] the [D] law will [Bm] avenge the men [A] I shot
So [D] farewell, I bid you all adieu _
[A] And I'm [D] sorrowful [A] for leaving [D] all of you
[Em] But [G] a message to [A] you all I [Bm] hope to be
By [G] the [D] telling of this wretched [F#m]
[A] tragedy
Oh [Bm] the sun has gone down in [D] the west _
[F#m] [D] The last [A] beams have [Bm] faded [D] are the crests
_ [G] Come morning [A] I'll be swinging [Bm] in the sun _
Like [G] the [D] pitiful [Em] prisoner [A] I've been
[Bm] _ [G] _ [A] _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _
[A] Diamond Bell, _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [Em] over [A] the meadow, [D] _ through [Bm] the trees
_ _ Are [B] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] you dancing [D] on the wind?
_ [Bm] _
[A] Are you [D] singing kill the king?
_ [Bm] _
[A] Are you starting [E] something big [A] again?
[D#m] _ I love you, [F#] as you go [D#m] on and run
_ _ Well [F#] now that you're [Fm] out there [E] just a [D#m]
wanderer
