Bm                              F#m
"Good everning to you mister" the bounty hunter said
Bm                                         F#m
"Ya dont know me but I know that there's a price on your head
Bm                                  F#m
I know you're wanted dead or a live thats what the posters say
Bm                                    F#m                  Bm
But I never shoot a man at night when he ain't had time to pray"

Bm                         F#m
So I'll give until sunrise tomorrow my friend
Bm                               F#m
Before I come and shoot you down and bring your body in
Bm                             F#m
I warn that I do my work quite well with a gun or knife
Bm                                F#m          Bm
I've tracked down many a man I've taken many a life

Chorus:
F#m                        Bm
Father do not mourn for me mother do not weep
F#m                   Bm
Whatever a man soweth that also shall he reep

Bm                                F#m
I had a long long sleepless night with the fear upon my breath
Bm                                 F#m
Tryin to get ready with my mornin' duel with death
Bm                               F#m
I hid up in a hayloft out on the edge of town
Bm                               F#m              Bm
And at sunrise the bounty hunter came to shoot me down

Bm                                F#m
I fired down at the bounty hunter sandin' out in the street
Bm                                      F#m
He raised his gun and fired at round of shots back up at me
Bm                              F#m
He hit my chest and shoulder, my gun flew from my hand
Bm                                F#m             Bm
I am standin up in this hayloft a wounded unarmed man

Chorus

Bm                                  F#m
The bounty Hunter he holds his fire and hollors up at me
Bm                                F#m
"Come out and take it like a man, I make it quick and clean"
Bm                              F#m
I now my time is runnin out and I got no time to stall
Bm                                 F#m             Bm
So reach a grab the pitch fork that hangin' on the wall

Bm                             F#m
My body arches as I stretch to face the risin' sun
Bm                               F#m
And I feel like a warrior's bow, freshly carved and strung
Bm                                    F#m
I launch my body through the air with the pitch fork in my hand
Bm                                       F#m             Bm
Stabs the bounty hunter in the chest and pins him to the sand

F#m                             Bm
And now my muscle start to rust and my thoughts are growin' cold
F#m                      Bm
While Gabriel and Satan, shoot craps for my soul
