Randy Travis - Young Guns

[Intro]
Bm D Bm D

[Verse 1]
Bm D
There was Dirty Steve, Charlie, Dick Brewer and Doc,
Bm D
Chavez and Billy the Kid.
G D
They all rolled together for a moment in time,
C A
believin’ in all that they did.
Bm D
Each one was different, but they all were the same,
Bm D
with one common reason in mind
G D
The cold hand of justice delivered to all
C D
who had shot a good friend from behind
C D
they shot a good friend from behind.

[Chorus]
A Bm
Young guns who were driven by hatred and anger
A Bm
with no way to win in the end,
A Bm
Some would be dyin’ and some would be livin’,
G F#
the question remaining was when.

[Verse 2]
Bm D
The battle to come wasn’t theirs for the choosin’,
Bm D
but they knew it wouldn’t be long,
G D
With no way to turn back and no way to stop,
C A
the anger that burned was too strong
Bm D
They rode into town unaware they were noticed,
Bm D
with what they must do on their minds.
G D
They met face to face with the ones who had killed
C D
the best friend that they ever would find,
C D
the best friend they ever would find

[Chorus]
A Bm
Young guns who were driven by hatred and anger
A Bm
with no way to win in the end,
A Bm
Some would be dyin’ and some would be livin’,
G F#
the question remaining was when.

[Verse 3]
Bm D
It happened so quick there was no time for thinkin,
Bm D
the battle was finally at hand
G D
And down through the years we have all heard the tales
C A
of what happened time and again.
Bm N.C. D N.C.
And sometimes the wind seems to echo the sounds
Bm N.C D N.C.
of the hoofbeats and screamin’ through town,
G N.C. D N.C.
And some people say that their ghosts can be seen
C N.C. D N.C.
when that hot desert sun’s beatin down’,
C N.C. D N.C.
when that hot desert sun’s beatin down

[Chorus]
A Bm
Young guns who were driven by hatred and anger
A Bm
finally had evened the score.
A Bm
Some were left bleedin’ and some were left dyin’,
G F#
but some things are worth dyin’ for.
