The Drifter

	  		G 
 
C                          G 
Jesse and the padre try to keep things cool 
D       C                   G 
Knowing exactly how to make stone into jewels 
C                                 G 
The judge was the kind of man who always talked fast 
D                       C 
And the way things were going 
    G                     G/F# 
His world wouldn't last 
Em C   D                 Em   C    
   The desperados make a plan 
   D                    Em C 
To set the town on fire 
C   D                             Em C 
And when they try to make a stand 
C         D 
They were ambushed at the wire 
    G 
The drifter never stays to fight 
                                   G/F# Em 
He keeps running till he's way out of   sight 
                   D 
But it gets him nowhere 
        G 
And the drifter never pays the price 
                         G/F#        Em 
He's running through the day and the night 
                     D             C     G 
But  he's running to nowhere 
C                                       G 
The judge said boys don't you know this town is mine 
D                  C                          G                
Don't going try to change it  everything will be just fine 
C                       G 
Those desperadoes don't pay them no mind 
D         C                     G              G/F# Em 
Everybody knows that they can't read or write 
C   D                           Em C 
The judge put Jesse in the jail 
D                          Em C 
Although there is no crime 
    D                            Em C 
The padre tried to get him out 
       D 
With a stick of dynamite 
    G 
The drifter never stays to fight 
                               G/F#   Em 
He keeps running till he's way out of sight 
                D 
But it gets him nowhere 
        G 
And the drifter never pays a price 
                         G/F#        Em  
He's running through the day and the night 
                     D 
But  he's running to nowhere 
    C       G   F   G   F   G    Em   Bm  C  Am  D    G 
Oh no... 
C                                 G 
The drifter knows he can't always go with the tide 
D              C                      G 
The time will come when he'll have to choose up sides 
C                               G  
Which way will he go will it be left or right 
D              C                 G 
The judge says things are either black or white 
Em C   D                 Em   C    
   The desperados make a plan 
   D                    Em C 
To set the town on fire 
C   D                             Em C 
And when they try to make a stand 
C         D 
They were ambushed at the wire 
    G 
The drifter never stays to fight 
                                   G/F# Em 
He keeps running till he's way out of   sight 
                   D 
But it gets him nowhere 
        G 
And the drifter never pays the price 
                         G/F#        Em 
He's running through the day and the night 
                     D             C     G 
But  he's running to nowhere
