[Intro]
A A
[Verse]
A
He was Tougher Than Leather
A
And he didn't care whether
D D
The sun shined or not
E
When a young kid from Cow Town
E
Wanted a showdown
E
And he was careless or
A
just maybe forgot
[Verse]
A
But he died in the gunfight
A
Blinded by sunlight
A7
Never draw when you're
D
facing the sun
E
And old Tougher Than Leather
E
Just carved one more
A
notch on his gun
[Verse]
A E
And when he turned to go
E7 E7
A beautiful maiden knelt down
A
Where her dead sweetheart lay
A B
And on his breast, placed a rose
B7
While the townspeople
E E
stared in dismay
[Verse]
A
And old Tougher Than Leather
A
Should have known better
A
But he picked up the
E
rose in his hand
E
And the townspeople froze
E
When his hands crushed the rose
E
And the rose petals
A F#
fell in the sand
[Verse]
B
And old Tougher Than Leather
B
Was a full-time go-getter
B
The grass never grew
F#
beneath his feet
F#
From one town to another
F#
He would ride like the wind
F#
But his mind kept
B
going back to the street
[Verse]
B
Where a young cowboy died
B
And a young maiden cried
B
And rose petals
F#
fell in the sand
F#
And his heart had been softened
F#
By the beautiful maid
F#
And he knew he must
B B
see her again
[Verse]
B
Well he went back to the town
B
Where it all had come down
B
And he searched but his
F#
search was in vain
F#
He had wanted to find her
F#
And say he was sorry
F# F7
For causing her heart
B
so much pain
[Verse]
B
But one night he died
B
From a poison inside
B
Brought on by the
F#
wrong he had done
F#
And old Tougher Than Leather
F#
Had carved his last
B G#
notch on his gun
[Verse]
C#
Well he was buried in Cow Town
C#
Along about sundown
C#
Looking good in his
G#
new store-bought clothes
G#
When the young maiden came over
G#7
And knelt down beside him
G#7 C#
And on his lapel placed a rose
[Verse]
C#7 F#
There's a bird in the sky
F# C#
Flying high, flying high
C# G#
To a place from a place
G#7 C# C#7
Changing skies, changing skies
[Outro]
