I rode into a

frightened town. could feel it in the air.
On the faces of the people was
the blankness of despair.
C
Em
C
Em
I'd ridden hard to reach this town. I thought that it might be
C
a place where I could settle down, where no one knew of me.
F
I rode by the nervous town folk who
Em
C
Em
were standing in the sun.
C
I smiled at them,
but in return they kept staring at my gun.
The old familiar sickness started
churning up inside.
Em
Now they'd ask if it was true that
F
Fm
13 men had died.
F
First would come the curious,
and then the would -be brave,
C
F
to try for a reputation or a
senseless early grave.
But no, these folks,
they welcomed me like I was their old friend.
Could be that here was peace at last, that
I'd reached my journey's end.
But hope died quickly as they spoke.
I chilled in the sweltering sun.
F
To them, I wasn't friend or foe,
just a fast and deadly gun.
They wanted me to kill again,
to save the town, they said.
I told them that
I'd fight no more.
Too many men were dead.
But even as I turned away,
C
F
they came riding down the street.
C
As bad a pair of gunmen as a
F
Fm
man would ever meet.
F
Lord, please help this town and
those who soon will die.
But this was none of my concern.
C

I watched them right on by.
Fightin' gun, fightin' gun,
F

fightin' gun.
F

I got a room and locked the door,
and I fell asleep at last,
wondering if there was a lawman,
hoping his gun was fast.
D
Then I came to my feet with gun in hand
F#m
to the sound of a six -gun's roar.
There were frantic footsteps in
D
F#m
the hall and a pounding at my door.
E#
E#
If there's any mercy in your heart,
F#m
please help us now, they cried.
The sheriffs heard two men are
down and a little child has died.
Just one last time
I'd have to fight, then
I'd be one of them.
I'd found a home, a home at last,
I'd be like other men.
F
My gun felt strange,
F#m
my heart was light as I faced them in the street.
I even smiled as they went down
and lay dying at my feet.
The blood was running from my wounds as I was sinking to the ground,
but my newfound friends would care for me.
F#
F#m
You see, I found my town.
Before my wounds had time to heal,
they all had lost their fear.
I asked about my newfound friends.
Not a one of them came near.
Then a spokesman came to me.
He said, speaking for the town,
we're grateful for the help you gave.
We just don't want your
kind around.
Frightened
Town,

Then with a deeper wound
inside than a bullet ever made,
E
I rode away with a darker past.
I even tried to pray,
F#m
for fate was moving me again
as a blood -red sun went down
with a few more scars
down an endless road to
another frightened town.
D
F#m
Fightin' now, fightin' now, fightin' now
