Johnny Cash - Big iron

To the to^Cwn of Agua Fria rode a str^Amanger one fine day Hardly sp^Coke to folks around him, didn't h^Amave too much to say No one d^Fared to ask his business, no one ^Cdared to make a slip For the s^Ctranger there among them had a^Am big iron on his hip ^FBig iron on hi^Cs hip

It was ^Cearly in the morning when^Am he rode into the town He came ^Criding from the south side,^Am slowly looking all around He's an ^Foutlaw loose and running, c^Came the whisper from each lip And he's^C here to do some business wit^Amh the big iron on his hip ^FBig iron on h^Cis hip

In this^C town, there lived an o^Amutlaw by the name of Texas Red Many men^C had tried to take him ^Amand that many men were dead He was v^Ficious and a killer though a^C youth of twenty-four And the ^Cnotches on his pistol numbe^Amred one and nineteen more O^Fne and ninetee^Cn more

Now the^C stranger started tal^Amking, made it plain to folks around He was ^Can Arizona Ranger, wouldn't^Am be too long in town He came^F here to take an outlaw ba^Cck alive or maybe dead And he s^Caid it didn't matter^Am, he was after Texas Red ^FAfter Texas^C Red

The m^Corning passed so quickly, i^Amt was time for them to meet It wa^Cs twenty past eleven when t^Amhey walked out in the street Folks^F were watching from their wind^Cows, everybody held their breath They ^Cknew this handsome range^Amr was about to meet his death Was a^Fbout to mee^Ct his death

There w^Cas forty feet between th^Amem when they stopped to make their play And the^C swiftness of the ranger ^Amis still talked about today Texas Red^F had not cleared leather w^Chen a bullet fairly ripped And the ^Cranger's aim was deadly with ^Amthe big iron on his hip ^FThe big iron o^Cn his hip

^FBig iro^Cn, big iron When he tried to match the ranger Wi^Amth the big iron on his hip ^FThe big iron o^Cn his hip
