Bartender, I know youre a reasonable man

                       F           D
Looks like you got the run of this place

                          F              D
Set me up a round so that I can see your hands

                       F                 D
And wipe the goddamned smile off of your face

   G
Im sure you must have heard of me, Im lightning with my Smith

                  F                     D
And my reputation burns all through the west

                                          F              D
So if you know what is good for you, shut up and get the whiskey

                                 F               D
And not that trade stuff, I want nothin but your best


Chorus:


    D                          G              D
And pour em kinda strong cause I wont be here long

    F#m                        G       A     D
You best not do me wrong, just pour em kinda strong

  D                             F              D 
I aint got time to savour em, I gotta drink em quick

D               F          D

D                                     F             D     
If they catch me its all over, Ill be way on up the creek

D                         F              D
And Ill be swingin on the wrong end of a rope

G
The posses been behind me now for six or seven days

     D                  F            D
Only two hours back and chewin on my dust

  D                               F              D
I got a powerful thirst I come in here to try to slake

So serve it up or draw down if you must

Im awful embarrassed at how I spoke to you before
