Backie's Gunman(Chords)

	        

    G                     D          D7                 G 
    I was known as Blackie's gunman, the best of gunman in the land 
    G                     D      D7                    G 
    I could shoot the ace of diamonds with a draw from either hand 

    G                   D    D7                    G 
    With the dice I had no equal, some of them are with us now, 
    G                   D       D7                     G 
    most of them are sadly sleeping 'neath the weeping willow bough. 

    G                      D                                      G 
    Many a cowboy's game I've played in, left that night with all their gold, 
    G                D   D7               G 
    as a sport I was broken, as a sport I let it go. 

    G                            D7                       G    
    I once loved a girl named Nellie, how we loved no tongue can tell, 
    G                     D    D7                     G 
    but I know I'll never meet her, oh t hard to say farewell. 

        G                         D    D7                    G 
    Her eyes were like the deep blue water, and her hair was golden curls, 
        G                       D      D7                       G 
    and her cheeks were crimson velvet and her teeth were snow white pearls. 
      
      G                  D      D7                    G 
    Together we lived in a cottage, and our life it was a dream, 
     G                      D        D7                    G 
    and the angels they watched o'er us, made our life one happy dream.
