LYRICS AND CHORDS key A minor

I guess he was no angel

then he never claimed to be

anything more than a chancer
Am G Am
as far as the eye could see
C G Am

(In) young life he was a drifter
Am G Am
from Monmouth to Iowa ---
Am G-----E
And through California
Am G Am
To Salt Lake in Utah
C G Am
-----------------------------
Chorus:

This adventurous man
C
He wrote history
C G
Wyatt Earp, his brothers
C
and Ol' Doc Holliday
C G
One morning at the O.K. Corral
Am G Am
------------------------------
He a - tried to settle down
And took himself a wife
But he watched impotently
As she slipped from his life

Grieving for his loss
He found his destiny
As a Lawman in Tombstone
In Cochise County
---------------------------------
Chorus:
---------------------------------
In October of Eighty One
Ike Clanton came to town
His brother an' three more,
To gun the Earp clan down

In just thirty seconds
His bluff had been called
Three men dead on the floor
Ike Clanton running from the maul
--------------------------------
Chorus
---------------------------------

Wyatt lived out his life
Unlike most of his kin
Despite all the gunfights
No bullet e'er found him

And as we write of heroes
Whose names we can revere
We put his name at the top
And work our way down from there
