(Em)                                 C      C/B
Well the stage was set, the sun was sinkin' lowdown
        Am                           Em
As they came to town to face another showdown
    G                  G7              C      C/B
The lawmen cleared the people from the street
        Am                                 D                 Bm
All you blood-thirsty bystanders, will you try to find your seat?

          Em              G
Watch 'em deulin', Doolin-Dalton
        Em                G
High or low, it's all the same
     C                    Em
Easy money, and faithless women
         A     C          G
You will never   kill the pain

Em                                 G
   Go down, Bill Doolin, don't you wonder why?
Em                        G            G7
   Sooner or later we all have to die
C                            Em
   Sooner or later, that's a stone-cold fact
A                             C          G
   Four men ride out and only three ride back.

The Queen of Diamonds let you down
        C              G
She was just an empty fable
    Em7                  C             G   D/F#
The Queen of Hearts you say you never met
    Em                 Bm7
Your twisted fate has found you out

[is there gonna be anything left, is there gonna be]

[ain't it hard when you're all alone in the center ring?]

[is there gonna be anything left?] Only stardust

[Maybe] Maybe tomorrow
