              D
    Have you seen that vigilante man?
              G                   D
    Have you seen that vigilante man?
     G                 D
    Have you seen that vigilante man?
                           A                 D
    I've been hearin' his name all over the land.

            D
    Well, what is a vigilante man?
               G                  D
    Tell me, what is a vigilante man?
            G                D
    Has he got a gun and a club in his hand?
               A         D
    Is that a vigilante man?

           D
    Rainy night down in the engine house,
      G                          D
    sleepin' just as still as a mouse.
     G                      D
    Man come along an' he chased us out in the rain,
          A               D
    was that a vigilante man?

            D
    Stormy days we passed the time away,
      G                         D
    sleepin' in some good warm place.
     G                     D
    Man come along an' we give him a little race.
          A               D
    Was that a vigilante man?

              D
    Preacher Casey was just a workin' man,
            G                            D
    And he said, "Unite all you working men."
     G                        D
    Killed him in the river, some strange man.
          A               D
    Was that a vigilante man?

         D
    Oh, why does a vigilante man,
     G                    D
    why does a vigilante man
     G                     D
    carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand?
                A                          D
    Would he shoot his brother and sister down?

       D
    I rambled 'round from town to town,
       G                            D
    I rambled 'round from town to town,
              G                       D
    and they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
          A                 D
    Was that the vigilante men?
             D
   Have you seen that vigilante man?
    Have you seen that vigilante man?
                    A                D
    I've heard his name all over the land.
