#. [Am]With damn cursed [C]eyes, the [G]multitude [Am]sat
As the kettle cars [C]pulled along the [G]rusty tracks[Am]
One [C]raised his hat in the [G]fading l[Am]ight
Said [C] excuse me [C/B]sir,this [G]doesn't seem [Am]right

Ref: Now he's [Am]gone like [G]whispers, [D]gone like r[Am]ain
Gone like the [G]faithful while the [D]faithless re[Am]main
Gone like the [G]stone the [D]builder re[C]fused
Gone and [C/B]   over[Am]due

#. There's a river in Texas with a strong undertow
No one crosses it to freedom, no one pans for gold
Its waters are clear, its waters are cold

#. In a cold desert corner, don't appear on no map
Coyotes scream rips the night in half 
He hears the devil calling, footsteps on the path
So he chews off his own leg, to get out of the trap,    and he's

Ref: Gone and   overdue, hey hey hey
