Вступление
[Verse 1]
Am G Am
Headed for Wyoming, in 1882
Am G Am
A woman, a team, and a wagon, gonna make our dreams come true
F C G Am
Settled in the foothills of the big horn mountain slope
Am
Life is sweet we lived on the meat
G Am
Of the deer and the antelope
Am G Am
We cut house logs on the moutain, with the team we hauled 'em down
Am G Am
Peeled 'em and we stacked 'em up, for a house and bought some ground
F C G Am
Traded for some cattle, and turned 'em out on the range
Am
The skies were blue and we never knew
G Am
How things were gonna change
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Ole powder river, you're muddy and wide
F C E
How many men have died upon your shores
F C G Am
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side
Am G Am
There's no middle ground in this Johnson Country War
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
Well, the neighbors stopped by yesterday, while I was outside choppin' some wood
Am G Am
And they filled me in on the local news, ain't none of it sounded good
F C G Am
Said, they'd been some cattle stealin', by some no count outlaw bands
Am
We'd all been branded rustler's
G Am
by the big ranchers of this land
Am G Am
Well it was us against the cattlemen, and the years just made it worse
Am G Am
First the drought, then the tough winter, Johnson County had been dealt a curse
F C G Am
Then their came the story about the two dry golgia tax
Am
Ranger Jones and John Tisdale
G Am
both been shot in the back...
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide
F C E
How many men have died upon your shores
F C G Am
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side
Am G Am
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
Then last night at supper time, riders stopped by chance
Am G Am
They said cattleman and hired guns, just burned the Kaycee Ranch
F C G Am
Two men had died this mornin', shot down in the snow
Am
Now the vigilante army
G Am
Was marchin' for Buffalo
Am G Am
Well the county was in an uproar, an every man saddled up to ride
Am G Am
Caught the cattlemen at the TA Ranch, and surrounded all four sides
F C G Am
We hailed the house with bullets and swore we'd make 'em pay
Am
But the calvery came across the plains
G Am
And once again saved the day
[Verse 4]
Am G Am
Well, they marched 'em off to Cheyenne, and no one went to jail
Am G Am
The cattlemen we're all turned loose, and the hired guns hit the trail
F C G Am
And I guess the only justice, wasn't much to say the least
Am
Last winter me and mine ate mighty fine
G Am
On the cattle baron's beef
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Oh, Powder River, you're muddy and you're wide
F C E
How many men have died upon your shores
F C G Am
When you brand a man a rustler, he's gotta take a side
Am G Am
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War
Am G Am
There's no middle ground in this Johnson County War
