F C

[Verse 1]
        C                       Am
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
        C                                                 Am
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say
        F                                C
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
                                           Am
for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip
 F               C
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 2]
        C                           Am
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
         C                                             Am
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around
         F                                 C
He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
                                            Am
And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip
    F               C
The big iron on his hip

[Verse 3]
         C                                Am
In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
      C                                                Am
Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
        F                             C
He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four
                                        Am
And the notches on his pistol numbered one an nineteen more
 F                C
One and nineteen more

[Verse 4]
         C                               Am
Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around
        C                                      Am
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town
         F                           C
He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
                                     Am
And he said it didn't matter he was after Texas Red
 F           C
After Texas Red

[Verse 5]
         C                         Am
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Texas Red
         C                                              Am
But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead
        F                            C
Twenty men had tried to take twenty men had made a slip
                                         Am
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
 F               C
Big iron on his hip

[Verse 6]
         C                               Am
Well,the morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
        C                                              Am
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
            F                                 C
Folks were watching from their windows every-body held their breath
                                    Am
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
 F                 C
About to meet his death

[Verse 7]
           C                                Am
There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play
         C                                                Am
And the swiftness of the ranger is still talked about to-day
       F                                  C
Texas Red had not cleared leather for a bullet fairly ripped
                                         Am
And the rangers aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
    F               C
The big iron on his hip

[Verse 8]
        C                       Am
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered round
       C                                             Am
There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
       F                                C
Oh he might have gone on living but he made one fatal slip
                                            Am
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
 F               C
Big iron on his hip

[Outro]
     F       C
Big iron Big iron
         C                                  Am
When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
 F               C  G C
Big iron on his hip
