Verse 1
F
Danny's father was a drinker,
Dm
he couldn't quit to save his life
Bb
Or that of his son,
Or his daughter,
C
Or his beautiful wife.
F
He left one night after he murdered
Dm
His best friend with a knife.
Bb
He snuck away into the dark
Gm
C
And didn't stop to say
F
Dm
Bb
C
goodbye.
F
He rode twelve days to the border
Dm
Where the claiber of a man
Bb
Was measured by the caliber
Dm
Gm
C
Of the pistol in his hand.
F
He lasted a week before the others
Dm
Saw that he was a man
from whom to take,
Bb
And on a Saturday night,
C
F
He was shot after a card game.
In a drunken bloody stupor,
Dm
He climbed on his horse and headed north.
Bb
He went crying through the night,
Gm

Trying to get back home.

And at dawn he was not dead,
Dm
But he was dying of thirst.
Bb
And his horse found a well

F
Dm
Bb
C
In the middle of the desert.
F
He slumped off to take a drink,
Dm
Slipped and cracked his
head on the edge,

And Danny's father fell and
C
sank into the darkness.
F
And at that very hour,
Dm
Danny woke to the screams
Bb
Of his sister
And his mother
Dm
C
F
And a band of Apaches.
Danny's mother grabbed a shotgun
Dm
And opened the front door,
Bb
And found a hatchet in her chest
C
Before she could do anything more.
F
And his sister was pulled
Dm
From the house and then went silent
Bb
C
Danny knew there was nothing left to do
F
Dm
Bb
C
But make a run for it.
F
He rode hard without stopping
Dm
Three days and nights away from hell.
Bb
He passed out on his horse
Gm
C
And it led him to a well

He woke baking in the sun
Dm
And could not believe his eyes.
Bb
He drew up bucket after bucket
C
F
Dm
And drank water through the night.
Bb
He drew up bucket after bucket
C
F
And drank water through the night.
His belly full, sun now hot,
Dm
He began to fel the rot
Bb
Work its way through his veins
Gm
C
And into the depths of his brain.
F
And his horse began to stammer
Dm
And kick with the craze.
Bb
Danny knew then
Dm
Gm
C
That the water in the well
F
Dm
Was unsafe.

F
As he lay dying with his horse,
Dm
He somehow came to understand

It was the death of his father

Where his own death began.

And no man can escape
Dm
The sins his father makes
Bb
He is bound in blood
Dm
To what he does
C
Gm
C
And all that he takes.
