[Intro] A

[Primera Parte]

A                        E                      Bm
I look to the West and I see that old sun going down
A                        E                      Bm
I strap on my boots and I go blow the roof off this town
A                        E                      Bm
In goes the liquor and out of my mouth comes the flame
A                            E                      Bm
The sun comes back up and my first word is always your name

Caroline, my hands make the shape of yours in mine
           Bm            E                A     A4    A
And they refuse to hold on to something new
Bm    E              A              F#m

           Bm             E        A
Until the lord brings me back to you

A man takes your horse you just find him and shoot him down dead
A                                 E                       Bm

But what do you do when the lord comes and takes away your wife
A                            E                       Bm

           Bm             E        A
Until the lord brings me back to you

You knew me before I work so hard to build this bad name
A                             E                    Bm
You knew me before I knew whiskey, whippings and women and running in vain
A                              E                 Bm
You knew you were on your way out long before I did
A                                 E               Bm
