Beggin' your pardon there stranger
G
You look like you're new to this town

We're a long way away from the beach here

Well I come from West Colorado
G
And I've wandered this world far and wide
F C
I've lived for some years in the shadows

And my eyes are unused to this light

If you buy me a strong drink of whiskey

I will tell you the tale of my life

And it may bring a tear to your eye
