[Verse 1]
        A                       
Well a man came on the 6 o'clock 
  D
news
      A                            
Said somebodys been shot, somebodys
  E      A
 been abused
Somebody blew up a building, 
                  D
somebody stole a car
 A                                 
Somebody got away, somebody didn't 
 E       A
get too far yeah
F#                      A
-- They didn't get too far


[Verse 2]
      A                            
Grandpappy told my pappy, back in 
         D
my days, son
   A                               
A man had to answer for the wicked 
 E       A
that he done
Take all the rope in Texas find a 
          D
tall oak tree
 A                                 
Round up all of them bad boys, hang
           E        A
 them high in the street
F#                        A
-- For all the people to see that...


[Chorus]
E                                 
Justice is the one thing you 
  D      A
should always find
           A
You got to saddle up your boys
Continues after the ad
           A
You got to draw a hard line
         E                      
When the gun smoke settles we'll 
        D       A
sing a victory tune
       A
We'll all meet back at the local 
saloon
                              D    
We'll raise up our glasses against 
     A
evil forces
G                      D         
Singing whiskey for my men, beer 
       A
for my horses
G                      D         
Singing whiskey for my men, beer 
       A
for my horses


[Verse 3]
    A                          
We got too many gangsters doing 
         D
dirty deeds
      A                          
Weve got too much corruption, too 
            E        A
much crime in the streets
Its time the long arm of the law put
                     D
 a few more in the ground
 A                                 
Send em all to their maker and hell
  E         A
 settle em down
F#                          A
-- You can bet hell set em down 
cause...


[Chorus]
E

  D      A
