[Verse 1]
G                  G             
I know a man whose plow handle 
     G               G
hand is quicker than a light
G                 G            G
Wes Hardin is his name they say 
                  G
he travels in the night
   G                 G      G    
For he might have to kill or walk
        D  G    G
 around a  fight


[Verse 2]
       G                G         
And if you ever saw Wes Hardin 
      G                    G
draw you know he can skin his gun
G   G                  G        
 He won't say how many tried and
     G               G
 died up against the top hand
G               G              D
 Up against the wrong man cause 
                 G
Hardin' wouldn't run

[Verse 3]
A                 A         A   
He rode in like a Texas wind 
                A
took the eastbound train
A           A              A    
Goin' goin' with Jane Bowen till
             A
 the law men caught up
A             A        E        
 So long Janie chin up I'll be 
     A
back again

[Verse 4]
C              C                 
Off he went to Huntsville Prison 
C                C
so long Janie he cried
C                 C               
Fifteen years she waited till her 
C                   C
heart broke and she died
   C              C           G7 
And she left that bad land to 
             C
wait up in the sky

[Verse 5]
A                A               
Free at last the payin' past for 
A                A
all the wrong he did
A                   A             
First free air they let him 
 A               A
breathe since he was a kid
  A                 A              
So let him come and let him go and 
E                A   A   A
let him deal and bid


[Verse 6]
A               A         A     
Near the border in El Paso 
            A
lawyer reads the sign
A                  A      
You won't find him there for 
           A             A
business every day at nine
   A            A       A 
For business is real bad one 
            A               E  
client's all he's had in quite a 
               A
long long time

[Verse 7]
     G                G           
Then sheriff Selman's boy broke in
    G             G
 to Wes's woman's place
G                 G              
Up she jumped and pistol whipped 
   G                  G
him kicked him in the face
   G            G         D      
And John Selman demands revenge 
           G
for this disgrace

[Verse 8]
          G                 
You could see every night by 
 G              G                 G
candlelight in Hardin's favorite bar
G                 G             
 She'd be hanging on his arm and
G                 G
 very late they'd leave there
G               G          G    
 Headed for the Goose Hair glad 
          G
it wasn't far

[Verse 9]
      A                    A   
Right through the swinging doors 
              A                   A
John Selman came with a blazin' gun
    A             A              
Wes Hardin chug-a-luggin' red eye
A               A
 got him in the back of the head
A                  A             
John Wesley Hardin fell dead cos 
E               A
Hardin wouldn't run
