^AmHeaded for Wyoming, in ^G18^Am82, ^AmA woman, a team, and a wagon. Gonna make ^Gour dreams come tr^Amue. ^FSettled in the ^Gfoothills of the big horn mountain ^Amslope. Life is sweet we lived on the meat, of the ^Gdeer and the ^Amantelope ^AmWe cut house logs on the mountain, with the ^Gteam we hauled 'em do^Amwn ^AmPeeled 'em and we stacked 'em up, ^Gplowed some bottom ^Amground. ^FTraded for some cat^Gtle, turned 'em out on the ^Amrange ^AmThe skies were blue and we never knew...^GHow things were gonna ^Amchange

^FOle powder river, yo^Gu're muddy and ^Amwide, ^FHow many men have died...upon your sh^Eores. ^FWhen you brand a man a rustler, ^Ghe's gotta take a ^Amside. There's no ^Fmiddle ground in this ^GJohnson Country ^AmWar.

^AmWell, the neighbors stopped by yesterday, ^Gwhile I was outside choppin’ ^Amwood. ^AmAnd they filled me in on the local news, ^Gain't none of it sounded ^Amgood, ^FSaid, they'd been some cattle stealin', ^Gby some no count outlaw ^Amband. ^AmWe'd all been branded rustler's by the big ^Granchers of this ^Amland. ^AmWell it was us against the cattlemen, and the ^Gyears just made it ^Amworse. ^AmFirst the drought, then the tough winter, ^GJohnson County had been dealt a ^Amcurse, ^FThen their came the story about the ^Gtwo "dry gu^Amlch" attacks: ^AmRanger Jones and John Tisdale ^Gboth been shot in the ^Amback

<Chorus> Verse 3

^AmThen last night at supper time, ^Griders stopped by ^Amchance. ^AmThey said cattleman and hired guns, ^Gjust burned the Kaycee ^AmRanch, ^FTwo men had died this mornin', ^Gshot down in the ^Amsnow ^AmNow the vigilante army was on the ^Gmarch to ^AmBuffalo ^AmWell the county was in an uproar, an ^Gevery man saddled up to ^Amride ^AmCaught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch, and ^Gsurrounded all four ^Amsides ^FWe hailed the house with ^Gbullets and swore they were gonna ^Ampay ^AmBut the Calvary came across the plains, and ^Gonce again saved the ^Amday

^AmWell, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne, and ^Gno one went to ^Amjail ^AmThe cattlemen we're all turned loose, and the ^Ghired guns hit the ^Amtrail ^FAnd I guess the only ^Emjustice, wasn't ^Gmuch to say the ^Amleast (No Chord)-> Last winter me and mine ate mighty fine on the cattle baron's beef.

There's no ^Fmiddle ground in this ^GJohnson County ^AmWar... Am G Am Am G Am F G Am G G Am
