Verse:
Em G D C D
They're looking for some hired guns on the Texas border
Em G D C D
To shoot 'em all down if they try to cross over the water
Em G D C D
And they've got their old white hoods and the same old orders
Em G D C D
To keep the dark sons away from their daughters
Bridge:
Bm
The nights they came on horses
D G
Are long gone with the wind
Bm
Now they're passing out the torches
D G A
And they're coming back again
Chorus:
Em G
There's a shotgun blast
D C D
There's a secret sign
Em G D C D
It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
Em G
There's a fire on the cross
D C D
There's a fire on the cross tonight
Verse:
Em G D C D
There wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunder
Em G D C D
Two boards nailed together and burning bright
Em G D C D
He was walking by the window when he saw it, now he wonders
Em G
Just what he's got to do to make him see
D C D
He just want to be brothers
