[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
They circled the cabin, she stepped out to meet them
D A D
With a Winchester rifle that'd kept them away
G D
Twelve young Apaches on Calico ponies
A D
Leader among them on a white paint bay
[Verse 2]
A D
He looked down upon her, sincere admiration
A D
Many had fought him and many had died
A D
Was she alone, where was her husband?
E A
He asked her the question to which she replied
[Chorus]
D G D
I wait for the man who?s bound for El Paso
A D
Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
G D
Leaving behind his home in the canyon
A D
Wife and two children with tears in their eyes
[Verse 3]
G D
In a quiet saloon near Culberson county
A D
An argument led to the end of a gun
G D
From the bar stood a traveler who did what he could
A D
To even the odds that were three against one
[Verse 4]
A D
A thunderous sound, followed by silence
A D
The traveler lay dead with a hole in his side
A D
His newfound companion knelt down beside him
E A
Asked who he was, the bartender replied
[Chorus]
D G D
Lying there's a man who was bound for El Paso
A D
Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
G D
Leaving behind his home in the canyon
A D
Wife and two children with tears in their eyes
[Verse 5]
G D
This newfound companion set out for the canyon
A D
Headed for nowhere, but he never slowed down
G D
One early morning, he awoke to the sounds of
A D
Calico ponies and hoofs on the ground
[Verse 6]
A D
He fought for his life but finally fell captive
A D
Certain he'd come to the end of his days
A D
His fight was over, his fate was sealed
E A
By the will of the leader on the white paint bay

Single Strum
D G D
Come morning light, he awoke near a cabin
A D
The leader looked on as his hands were untied
G D
He looked around briefly, silently wondered
A D
Would this be the moment he finally died
[Verse 8]
A D
The cabin door opened and out stepped a woman
A D
A Winchester rifle held close to her side
A D
That newfound companion looked up at the woman
E A
She asked who he was, to which he replied
[Chorus]
D G D
I?m in debt to a man who was bound for El Paso
A D
Riding alone fetching seeds and supplies
G D
Leaving behind his home in the canyon
A D
Wife and two children with tears in their eyes
