album: "Unleashed"
tabbed by: Rob Ross
capo 3rd fret
intro (background chords)
G, D, C -- then go to a G which starts into the first verse.
well a man come on teh 6 o'clock news
saying somebody got shot, somebody's been abused
somebody blew up a building somebody stole a car
somebody got away somebody didn't get too far
yea, they didn't get too far
grandpappy told my pappy back in my day son
that a man had to answer for the wicked he done
take all the rope in texas, find a tall oak tree
round up all of them bad boys, hang them high in the streets
for all the people to see
chorus:
cause justice is the one thing you should always find
you gotta saddle up your boys you gotta draw a hard line
when the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
and we'll all meet back at the local salloon
and we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces sayin
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
(C G )
(whiskey for my men, beer for my horses) --> this is played in the 2nd and 3rd chorus' only
we got too many gansters doing dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime on the streets
it's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
send them all to their maker and he'll settle them down
you can bet he'll set em down
chorus
finally, the instrumental after the 2nd chorus is just G, C, G, D, G, C, G, D-Dsus4-D, G
chorus --> after the chorus, end with quick strums on D, then C, then nail the finish with a strong G
