THE SKY ABOVE THE MUD BELOW
Best with a Travis style pick
Am C Asus2
Two men rode in from the south, one rainy autumn night
G Asus2
The Sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
They walked into the Deacon's bar, they were Mexican by sight
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
They threw a horsehair bridle down, We trade this for whiskey rounds.
AM G F
The Deacon slams a bottle down,
E Asus2
The two men start to Drink in'
Am C Asus2
Their hair was long and black, tied up behind their ears
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
Their faces were identical, like a man beside a mirror
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
Then someone whispered "That beats all, their wanted posters on the wall
Am G F
Twin brothers name of Sandoval,
E Asus2
horse thieves from Boquillas"
Am C Asus2
Now the bridle and the belts they wore were braided gray and black
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
The color of a roan horse once belonged to Deacon Black
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
The fastest horse for miles around, He'd been stolen from the old fairground
Am G F
a month ago outside of town
E Asus2
We tracked and never found him
Am C Asus2
Now the Deacon was a preacher who had fallen hard from grace
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
He owned the bar and a string of quarter horses that he'd race
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
Yea, Deacon he could drink and curse, though he still quoted sacred verse
Am G F
He was sheriff, judge; he owned the hearse,
E Asus2
man you did not anger
Bridge -
C G D/F# F
The sky above, the mud below, The wind and rain, The sleet and snow
Am G F E Asus2
Two horse thieves from Mexico drinkin' hard and singin'
Am C Asus2
One brother he spoke English, Deac inquires as to their work
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
The man says "Mister we braid horsehair bridles, ropes and Quirts
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
Yea, that fine bridle we did make, A roan horse killed by leg bone break
Am G F
He's horsehair rope now; horse-meat steak,
E Asus2
We cleaned him to the bone
Am C Asus2
Well these gentlemen they were ignorant or didn't know just where they were
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
The Deacon's face grew darker as he measured every word
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
"You horsehair braidin' sons of bitches stole my claim to earthly riches.
Am G F
Someone go and dig a ditch,
E Asus2
There may well be a hangin'
Am C Asus2
One brother reached inside his shirt searching for his gun
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
Too late, for Deac had whipped around his sawed off Remington
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
The twins, they raised their hands and sneered, Deac was grinnin' ear to ear
Am G F
He says "Court's in session, hear ye hear,
E Asus2
Yours truly is presidin'"
Am C Asus2
Well the trial commenced and ended quick, They didn't have a Hope
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
Deac says "We'll cut your hair now boys and you can braid yourselves a rope"
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
The Old Testament, it says somewhere 'Eye for eye and hair for hair
Am G F
Covet not thy neighbors mare',
E Asus2
I believe it's Revelations
Am C Asus2
Now the fancy horsehair bridle, it hangs on Deacon's wall
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C Asus2
Next to that wanted poster of the brothers Sandoval
G Asus2
The sky above and the mud below
Am C G D/F# F
And the twisted rope so shiny black, The artifact that broke their necks
Am G F
Their craftsmanship he did respect,
E Asus2
They shoulda stuck to braidin'
C G D/F# F
The sky above, the mud below, The wind and rain, The sleet and snow
Am C F
The Deacon's hearse is rollin' slow
E Asus2 Am
in the first blue light of morning
