Bound For El Paso

D

[Verse 1]
D                           G
They circled the cabin, she stepped 
out to meet them
       D                 A        
With a Winchester rifle that'd 
       D
kept them away
                         G    
Twelve young Apaches on Calico 
    D
ponies
                       A           
Leader among them on a white paint 
D
bay


[Verse 2]
   A                     D
He looked down upon her, sincere 
admiration
   A                    D
Many had fought him and many had 
died
   A           D
Was she alone, where was her 
husband?
   E                         A
He asked her the question to which 
she replied


[Chorus]
D                        G       
I wait for the man who’s bound 
     D
for El Paso
                      A        
Riding alone fetching seeds and 
 D
supplies
                   G          
Leaving behind his home in the 
 D
canyon
                           A       
Wife and two children with tears in
       D
 their eyes


[Verse 3]
                       G        
In a quiet saloon near Culberson 
 D
county
                       A        D
An argument led to the end of a gun
From the bar stood a traveler who 
G           D
did what he could

                           A    
To even the odds that were three 
         D
against one


[Verse 4]
A                   D
A thunderous sound, followed by 
silence
A                            D
The traveler lay dead with a hole in
 his side
A                      D
His newfound companion knelt down 
beside him
E                        A
Asked who he was, the bartender 
replied


[Chorus]
D                           G    
Lying there's a man who was bound
        D
 for El Paso
                      A        
Riding alone fetching seeds and 
 D
supplies
                   G          
Leaving behind his home in the 
 D
canyon
                           A       
Wife and two children with tears in
       D
 their eyes


[Verse 5]
                        G          
This newfound companion set out for
     D
 the canyon
                           A    
Headed for nowhere, but he never 
        D
slowed down
                      G            
One early morning, he awoke to the 
D
sounds of
                  A           
Calico ponies and hoofs on the 
 D
ground

[Verse 6]
A                          D
He fought for his life but finally 
fell captive
A                        D
Certain he'd come to the end of his 
days
A                   D
His fight was over, his fate was 
sealed
E                                
By the will of the leader on the 
A
white paint bay

[Verse 7]

Single Strum
D                   G            
Come morning light, he awoke near
   D
 a cabin
                            A    
The leader looked on as his hands 
      D
were untied
                          G        
He looked around briefly, silently 
D
wondered
                            A      
Would this be the moment he finally
 D
 died


[Verse 8]
A                         D
The cabin door opened and out 
stepped a woman
A                       D
A Winchester rifle held close to her
 side
A                              D
That newfound companion looked up at
 the woman
E                     A
She asked who he was, to which he 
replied


[Chorus]
D                            G   
I’m in debt to a man who was 
         D
bound for El Paso
                      A        
Riding alone fetching seeds and 
 D
supplies
                   G          
Leaving behind his home in the 
 D
canyon
                           A       
Wife and two children with tears in
       D
 their eyes
