    Yeah, I gunned him twice
A     G      F           C
Yeah, and I watched him die, watch out boy
A     G  F           C
Yeah, I watched him die

He was a barroom man, the violent kind
He had no love for that gal of mine
Then one day in a drinking bout
He swore he'd throw me right of town
The hand of fate is on me now
I shot that man I put him underground
I put him underground
Yes I did

I'm on the run, I hear the hounds
My luck is up, my chips are down
So goodbye baby, so long now
Wish me luck, I'm going to need it child
The hand of fate is on me now
Yeah it's too late baby it's too late baby
It's too late now
Oh yeah mm yeah
Yes it is
The hand of fate hangs a heavy now
It's a heavy now
Heavy Now
The hand of fate is a heavy now

It picked me up and it knocked me down
It picked me up and it knocked me down
