Back in the 18th Century
G           Bb   C    D
when the west is wild as the eye could see
G           Bb   C    D
Pack up the wife and the wagon get some land for free
G           Bb   C    D
A hellish trail to liberty
        Eb                              D
And ohh, It's a good ol' day to day to die
      Bb          A     G
But I ain't gonna die today

Dangerous road I don't think its not
G                Bb             C           D
where the sun is blazin' and my steel is hot
G                Bb             C           D
the bad guys carry rounds and my guns are out

        Eb                                    D
In a box, well it's a good ol' day to day to die

But I ain't gonna die today

Man in black approaches from the east
G         Bb                  C                  D
I'll take your wife and your wagon and your family
G         Bb         C                  D
You're never gonna get out of here alive
