[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C D
Those other years, the dusty years, we drove the big hearse through
C D
I tried to forget the miles we rode and Spanish Johnny too
C D
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all his herd was in
C G D
And he'd never harm a child, but sing to his mandolin
[Verse 2]
C D
The old talk, the old ways, and the dealing of our game
C D
But Spanish Johnny never spoke, but sang a song of Spain
C D
And his talk with men was vicious talk when he was drunk on gin
C G D
Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin
[Guitar & Mandolin Solos]

C D C G A
[Verse 3]
C D
Well, we had to stand, we tried to judge, we had to stop him then
C D
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
C D
He died a hard death long ago before the roads come in
C G D
And the night before he swung, he sung to his mandolin
[Verse 4]
C D
Well, we carried him out in the morning sun, a man that done no good
C D
And we lowered him down in the cold clay, stuck in a cross of wood
C D
And a letter he wrote to his kinfolk to tell them where he'd been
C G D C
And we shipped it out to Mexico along with his mandolin
[Outro]
