Chambers

A reader, Matt Christie, sent me a correction to this tab, and I think he's right about the changes. (Thanks, Matt!) For posterity sake, I left the old version at the bottom of the post.

All of these chords are power chords so they're technically A5, E5 D5, etc. He picks through all of them, but with just three strings to choose from, I'm guessing everybody can work that part out on their own.

Swore that he'd come back to her again

Oh, oh, novia

Well maybe he's in Texas, but we'll take what God has left us
A___________________E_______________A
We'll leave for California with the dawn


Worked his way back to old Mexico
To reclaim the love he'd left two years ago
Back to those same city walls
Where he'd watched copper cannon balls
Like wayward suns roll down the cobblestones

Put him in a prison left alone
With other yankee fools so far from home
Marched them through the square in chains
'Till in rode Capatin Glanton's gang
Apache scalps for bounties paid in gold

Glanton's men were killers all by trade
And through the prison bars a deal was made
Glanton needed three new mean
He'd hire this love lorn veteran
The killers rode out through the governor's gates

The veteran left camp `fore the rising sun
No killer, he'd left other work undone
He was not yet two days out
When Glanton't naked native scounts
Brought back his empty horse and brand new gun
