Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well a man come on the 6 o'clock news

Said somebody's been shot, somebody's been abused

Somebody blew up a building

 Somebody stole a car

Somebody got away

 Somebody didn't get too far yeah

 They didn't get too far

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son

A man had to answer for the wicked that 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 street for all the people to see

(Chorus)

Justice is the one thing you should always find

 You got to saddle up your boys

 You got to draw a hard line

 When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune

 We'll all meet back at the local saloon

 We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces

 Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds

 We've got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets

It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground

Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down

 You can bet he'll set 'em down 'cause

(Chorus)

Justice is the one thing you should always find

 You got to saddle up your boys

 You got to draw a hard line

 When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune

 We'll all meet back at the local saloon

 We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces

 Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

(Chorus)

Justice is the one thing you should always find

 You got to saddle up your boys

 You got to draw a hard line

 When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune

 We'll all meet back at the local saloon

 We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces

 Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
