Verse 1
E
Danny's father was a drinker,

he couldn't quit to save his life

Or his daughter,
B
Or his beautiful wife.
E
He left one night after he murdered
C#m
His best friend with a knife.
A
He snuck away into the dark
F#m
B
And didn't stop to say
E
C#m
A
B
goodbye.
E
He rode twelve days to the border
C#m
Where the claiber of a man
A
Was measured by the caliber
C#m
F#m
B
Of the pistol in his hand.
E
He lasted a week before the others
C#m
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
A
And on a Saturday night,
B
E
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
C#m
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
A
He went crying through the night,
F#m
B
Trying to get back home.
E
And at dawn he was not dead,
C#m
But he was dying of thirst.

And his horse found a well

In the middle of the desert.
E
He slumped off to take a drink,
C#m
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,
A
And Danny's father fell and
B
sank into the darkness.
E
And at that very hour,
C#m
Danny woke to the screams
A
Of his sister
And his mother
C#m
B
E
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
C#m
And opened the front door,
A
And found a hatchet in her chest
B
Before she could do anything more.
E
And his sister was pulled
C#m
From the house and then went silent
A
B
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
E
C#m
A
B
But make a run for it.
E
He rode hard without stopping
C#m
Three days and nights away from hell.
A
He passed out on his horse
F#m
B
And it led him to a well
E
He woke baking in the sun
C#m
And could not believe his eyes.
A
He drew up bucket after bucket
B
E
C#m
And drank water through the night.
A
He drew up bucket after bucket
B
E
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
C#m
He began to fel the rot
A
Work its way through his veins
F#m
B
And into the depth s of his brain.
E
And his horse began to stammer
C#m
And kick with the craze.
A
Danny knew then
C#m
F#m
B
That the water in the well
E
C#m
Was unsafe.

E
As he lay dying with his horse,
C#m
He somehow came to understand
A
It was the death of his father
B
Where his own death began.
E
And no man can escape
C#m
The sins his father makes
A
He is bound in blood
C#m
To what he does
B
F#m
B
And all that he takes.
