Guthrie
Written and recorded by Hank Thompson

C F C
I was on my way from Dodge that day
G7
I was going home again
C F C
My Indian bride was by my side
G7 C
When I rode in to Guthrie

F C
Big Jim Brady ran the town
G7
The saloon and the gambling hall
C F C
The General Store and several more
G7 C
He ran them all in Guthrie

F C
With the horses tied I went inside
G7
And was buying fresh supplies
C F C
Outside the door I heard a rifle roar
G7 C
To my surprise in Guthrie

F C
I rushed outside and my wife cried
G7
Jim Brady's been around
C F C
He was like a fiend both drunk and mean
G7 C
So I shot him down in Guthrie

F C
I quickly ran and grabbed the gun
G7
And stood where Big Jim lay
C F C
Those who came gave me the blame
G7 C
So I ran away from Guthrie

F C
I knew my bride was justified in
G7
Such a circumstance
C F C
But an Indian's word would not be heard
G7 C
She'd have no chance in Guthrie

F C
All through the night I rode with fright
G7
Through hills and chaparral
C F C
But the Marshal knew this country too
G7 C
He was on my trail from Guthrie

F C
When noon was high he was drawing nigh
G7
I heard his six gun ring
C F C
Then the Marshal swore by the patch he wore
G7 C
I'll see you swing in Guthrie

F C
So now I dwell in a prison cell
G7
And an Indian girl will cry
C F C
To the hangman's tree they'll carry me
G7 C
And it's here I'll die in Guthrie
