[Bm] [E] [Em] Daddy told me when I was seventeen, [Bm] [C] live [D] straight, shoot straight, [Em] and always keep my dreams.
But a man killed him, shot him in cold blood.
[C] As he died I [D] held his hand, I [E] think he [Em] knew I understood.
[D] [G] He said follow [Bm] the sun, [Am] where the west [Em] winds run, [D] and the desert [Am] gets [E] the moon.
[Em] [G] One day [D] I prayed, [Am] that you all need [Em] this gun, [C] but for now [D] he'd go back to [Em] the sun.
[E]
[Em] Some kill for money, some kill for [D] gold.
[C] I [D] kill for vengeance, [Em] cause I guess they took my soul.
Now I'm a running man, running in the [D] rain.
[C] I still [D] see their faces, [Em] but the west gate kills the pain.
[G] He said follow [Bm] the sun, [Am] where the west winds [Em] run, [D] and the desert [Am] gets [Em] the moon.
[G] One day [D] I prayed, [Am] that you all need [Em] this gun, [C] but for now [D] he'd go back [Em] to the sun.
