Introdução:
Am Em
Charlie found Billy in a far-off town.
Am
It had been more than a year since his daughter Marie
Em
Had been put into the ground.
Am Em
Charlie swore when he found him he would get his revenge.
Am Em
For the loss of his daughters Billy Jackson's life
Would come to an end.
Bm Am Em
Ooooooh, his time would come.
Bm D C
Ooooooh, his time would come.
When Billy saw Charlie it was too late to run
Am Em
Billy said, "Charlie, I know you're gonna kill me, but just let me say,
Am Em
It's true, I was the father of Marie's child and I - I ran away.
Am Em
You see, we'd planned to get married-but we were both of us just kids
Am Em
And Marie told me how you got so angry when she tried to tell you what we did.
Am Em
So we decided I should split from town until the fuss had all died down.
Bm Am Em
Then I heard how she died and since that day I've only known misery.
Bm D C
Now you've come for my blood so I guess I'll get to join My Marie".
Charlie just stood there and tears filled his eyes.
