Sons Of The Pioneers – Lillies Grow High chords

[Chorus]
E         F#m         G#mBoots and Stetson and six guns
        F#m         E    F#m G#m F#mAnd the lilies grow high
     E           F#m        G#m         F#mThey grow for a man with a gunslingin' hand
       E        F#m      G#m F#m EWho before his time must die.


[1/2 verse]
     C           Am           EThey grow in the trail he has traveled
  C          Am             EA trail well spattered with lead
     C            Am            EThey weep for the graves of the many
    C                 Am      EMen they weep for the men now dead.


[Verse]
E         F#m         G#mHe rides along lonely, no friends
        F#m         E    F#m G#m F#mBut only the lilies growin' high
     E           F#m        G#m         F#mAll men seem to fear him, not one will go near him
       E        F#m      G#m F#m EAnd he knows the reason why.
     C           Am           EHis name and fame spread before him
  C          Am             ELike a carpet of death and he knows
     C            Am            EOne day he'll be slow on the draw
             C        Am      EAnd then for him a lily will grow.


[Verse]
E         F#m         G#mA woman may love him though she knows
        F#m         E    F#m G#m F#mSoon above him the lilies growin' high
     E           F#m        G#m         F#mThen like the lily she'll bow down her head
       E        F#m      G#m F#m EBow down her poor head and cry.
     C           Am           EOn some boothill they will lay him
  C          Am             EAnd a headboard will sway in the wind
     C            Am            EThe lily will nod and gently weep
    C                 Am      EFor another gunman's end.


[Chorus]
E         F#m         G#mBoots and Stetson and six guns
        F#m         E    F#m G#m F#mAnd the lilies grow high
     E           F#m        G#m         F#mBoots and Stetson and six guns
       E        F#m      G#m F#m EAnd the lilies grow high...
