 Well a man come on the 6 o’clock news
Said somebody’s been shot,

somebody’s been abused
Somebody blew up a building
        D        A
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
         E                A
Somebody didn’t get too far yeah

Grand pappy told my pappy, back in my day,
A
son
                            E              A
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
       D        A
Find a tall oak tree,
round up all of them bad boys
          E           A     F#m            E         A
Hang them high in the street   for all the people to see
that

   E                                D      A
Justice is the one thing you should always find
           D              A
You got to saddle up your boys
           E           A
You got to draw a hard line
         E                                D       A
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
                             E       A
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
                                    D     A
We’ll raise up our glasses against evil forces
       G
Singing whiskey for my men,
D               A5
 beer for my horses

[Verse 3]
          A                    D      A
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
We’ve got too much corruption,
              E       A
too much crime in the streets
                                          D        A
It’s time the long arm of the law put a few more in the
ground
                                         E           A
Send them all to their maker and he’ll settle them down
F#m                    E             A
   You can bet he’ll set them down ’cause

[Chorus]

Justice is the one thing you should always find

You got to draw a hard line
         E                                D       A
When the gun smoke settles we’ll sing a victory tune
                             E       A
We’ll all meet back at the local saloon
