The Man From Waco

 Bm  Bm  Bm  Bm

     Bm            D          G              D
The mirage of Del Rio it was burning in his eyes
     Bm          D                 G            A
And sleep had escaped him, too consumed by his pride
          Bm                D              G         D
Like the lonesome and high country he was lost in a haze
         Bm                   D           G              D
And the thoughts of what he'd do if he unloaded all his rage
    Bm
The man from Waco

     Bm              D            G                  D
The city was almost silent as he passed the humming signs
        Bm              D                    G                 A
On the corner he heard laughter, made him afraid of what he'd find
    Bm                 D          G          D
He pushed through the door, hypnotized by a sound
      Bm             D                G              D
Just then tears overcame him and his heart began to drown

        Bm            D                  G             D
It was there that he shot her while the lovers were embraced
          Bm          D              G                A
With the bullet he intended for the man who took his place
    Bm                D          G           D
He cried through the night as he made his escape
         Bm            D                 G             D
But the rain that was fallin' could not wash away his shame
    Bm
The man from Waco

        Bm           D                 G             D
On the banks of the Brazos, where the desert willow grows
     Bm            D                G          A
The clear shallow water just won't say all it knows
   Bm                D                   G                  D
A moment of burning anger can curse the living through the days
        Bm              D                     G          D
You can let that river take you but you will never get away
