The Highwaymen – American Remains
Capo on 1st fret
[Verse 1]
(Johnny Cash)
Am F
I am a shotgun rider for the San Jacinto line
C G
The desert is my brother, my skin is cracked and dry
Am F
I was riding on a folk coach, and everything was fine
C G
Til we took a shorter road to save some time
F C
The bandits only fired once, they shot me in the chest
C G
They may have wounded me, but they`ll never get the best
Fmaj7 Am
Of better men, cause I`ll ride again.
[Verse 2]
(Waylon Jennings)
Am F
I am a river gambler, I make a livin` dealin` cards
C G
My clothes are smooth and honest, my heart is cold and hard
Am F
I was shufflin` for some delta boys on the boat for New Orelans
C G
I was the greatest shark they`d ever seen
F C
But the Captain bumped a sandbar, and an ace fell from my sleeve
C G
The threw me overboard as I swore I didn`t cheat
Fmaj7 Am
But I could swim, and I`ll ride again
[Chorus]
C G
We are heros of the homeland, American remains
F Am
We live in many faces and answer many names
C G
We will not be forgotten, we won`t be left behind
F G
Our memories live on in mortal minds
Fmaj7 Am
And poet`s pens, we`ll ride again
[Verse 3]
(Willie Nelson)
Am F
I am a mid-west farmer, I make a livin` off the land
C G
I ride a John Deer tractor, I am a liberated man
Am F
But the rain it hasn`t fallen, since the middle of July
C G
And if it don`t come soon my crops will die
F C
The bank man says he likes me, but there`s nothin` he can do
C G
He tells me that he`s comin`, but the clouds are comin` too
Fmaj7 Am
He ain`t my friend, and I`ll ride again.
[Verse 4]
(Kris Kristofferson)
Am F
I am an American Indian, my tribe is Cherokee
C G
My forefathers loves this land, they left it here for me
Am F
But the white man came with boats and trains and dirty factories
C G
And poisoned my existence with his deeds
F C
Nature is our mother, we are suckling at her breast
C G
And he who tries to beat her down will lose her to the rest
Fmaj7 Am
They`ll never win, I`ll ride again
[Chorus]
C G
We are heros of the homeland, American remains
F Am
We live in many faces and answer many names
C G
We will not be forgotten, we won`t be left behind
F G
Our memories live on in mortal minds
