And buried 'em deep where they

And the lady she moaned such a 
  C        G
mournful sound
                        C          
Me and the Mexican just finished 
  G

    G                          
Old Silver had the magic and he 
 C           G
carried the money
         Em         D              
With the grace of a gambler and he 
C            G
lost it with ease
   G                            
He knew his lines better, than a 
 C          G
good carny barker
          Em        D              
Worse the best damn boots that you 
C         G
ever have seen
           Em              D   
He had the best snake-skin boots 
           C         G
that you ever have seen

        G                          
Now the lady she loved him and she 
C               G
never asked que stions
           Em         D            
Though she laid awake wonderin' on 
C      G
many a night
    G                     C       
She swore she was leaving most 
   G
every morning
        Em           D            
But she always would kiss him when
    C              G
 he turned out the light
        Em           D             
She was always right there when he 
C              G
turned out the light

            G                   
Now there's always a sidekick to 
 C        G
every B- western
      Em        D             C  
Who's always in love with the 
      G
lady who leaves
    G                              
But she can't stand the memory so I
 C            G
 really don't blame her
    Em         D          C      
For taking the very first 
         G
Greyhound she'd seen
      Em           D              
God I hate her for takin' the

first Greyhound she'd seen
