D        G
I killed poor Jed Bryant

In a bad, Laredo fight

Killed him with my bare hands
    A         D
For the girl I loved that night
   G        D
Jeds' brothers' out to get me
   G       D
He's coming with a gang

I'd rather shoot it out by God

Than let 'em watch me hang

verse two:
    D          G
She had spangles on her red dress
    A        D
She had laughter in her voice
             G
When he tried to put his hands on her
  A        D
My heart left me no choice
  G       D
But was she really worth it
    G        D
Well I guess I'll never know
     G        D
She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye
   G    A  D
When I'm six feet below
