[Verse 1]
Bm D
The mirage of Del Rio
G D
It was burnin' in his eyes
Bm D
And sleep had escaped him
G A
Too consumed by his pride
[Verse 2]
Bm D
Like the lonesome and high country
G D
He was lost in a haze
Bm D
And the thoughts of what he'd do
G D A/C#
If he unloaded all his rage
[Chorus]
Bm
The man from Waco
[Verse 3]
Bm D
The city was almost silent
G D
As he passed the hummin' signs
Bm D
On the corner, he heard laughter
G A
Made him afraid of what he'd find
[Verse 4]
Bm D
He pushed through the door
G D
Hypnotized by a sound
Bm D
Just then, tears overcame him
G D A/C#
And his heart began to drown
[Chorus]
Bm
The man from Waco
[Interlude]

[Verse 5]
Bm D
It was there that he shot her
G D
While the lovers were embraced
Bm D
With the bullet he intended
G A
For the man who took his place
[Verse 6]
Bm D
He cried through the night
G D
As he mad e his escape
Bm D
But the rain that was fallin
G D A/C#
Could not wash away his shame
[Chorus]
Bm
The man from Waco
[Verse 7]
Bm D
On the banks of the Brazos
G D
Where the desert willow grows
Bm D
The clear shallow water
G A
Just won't say all it knows
[Verse 8]
Bm D
A moment of burnin anger
G D
Can curse the livin through the days
Bm D
You can let that river take you
G D A/C#
But you will never get away
[Chorus]

The man from Waco
