Verse 1
G
Danny's father was a drinker,
Em
he couldn't quit to save his life
C
Or that of his son,
Or his daughter,
D
Or his beautiful wife.
G
He left one night after he murdered
Em
His best friend with a knife.
C
He snuck away into the dark
Am
D
And didn't stop to say
G
Em
C
D
goodbye.
G
He rode twelve days to the border
Em
Where the claiber of a man
C
Was measured by the caliber
Em
Am
D
Of the pistol in his hand.
G
He lasted a week before the others
Em
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
C
And on a Saturday night,
D
G
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
Em
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
C
He went crying through the night,
Am
D
Trying to get back home.
G
And at dawn he was not dead,
Em
But he was dying of thirst.
C
And his horse found a well
D

Em
C
D
In the middle of the desert.
G
He slumped off to take a drink,
Em
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,
C
And Danny's father fell and
D
sank into the darkness.
G
And at that very hour,
Em
Danny woke to the screams
And his mother
Em
D
G
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
Em
And opened the front door,
C
And found a hatchet in her chest
D
Before she could do anything more.
G
And his sister was pulled
Em
From the house and then went silent
C
D
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
G
Em
C
D
But make a run for it.
G
He rode hard without stopping
Em
Three days and nights away from hell.
C
He passed out on his horse
Am
D
And it led him to a well
G
He woke baking in the sun
Em
And could not believe his eyes.
C
He drew up bucket after bucket
D
G
Em
And drank water through the night.
C
He drew up bucket after bucket
D
G
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Em
He began to fel the rot
C
Work its way through his veins
Am
D
And into the depths of his brain.
G
And his horse began to stammer
Em
And kick with the craze.
C
Danny knew then
Em
Am
D
That the water in the well
G
Em
Was unsafe.

G
As he lay dying with his horse,
Em
He somehow came to understand
C
It was the death of his father
D
Where his own death began.
G
And no man can escape
Em
The sins his father makes
C
He is bound in blood
Em
To what he does
D
Am
D
And all that he takes.
