[Intro]
Am
Am Em
He lay face down in the desert sand
Am G
Clutching his six-gun in his hand
C G
Shot from behind, I thought he was dead
Am G C
But under his heart was an ounce of lead
F C
But a spark still burned so I used my knife
Am Em
And late that night I saved the life of Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo . . .)
Am Em
I nursed him till the danger passed
Am G
The days went by, he mended fast
C G
Then from dawn till setting sun
Am G C
He practiced with that deadly gun
F C
And hour on hour I watched in awe
Am Em
No human being could match the draw of Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
One day we rode the mountain crest
Am G
And I went east and he went west
C G
I took to law and wore a star
Am G C
While he spread terror near and far
F C
With lead and blood he gained such fame
Am Em
All throughout the West they feared the name of Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
I knew someday I'd face the test
Am G
Which one of us would be the best
C G
And sure enough the word came down
Am G C
That he was holed up in the town
F C
I left the posse out in the street
Am Em
And I went in alone to meet Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
They said my speed was next to none
Am G
But my lightning draw had just begun
C G
When I heard a blast that stung my wrist
Am G C
The gun went flying from my fist
F C
And I was looking down the bore
Am Em
Of the deadly .44 of Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
They say that was the only time
Am G
That anyone had seen him smile
C G
He slowly lowered his gun and then
Am G C
He said to me "We're even, friend"
F C
And so at last I understood
Am Em
That there was still a spark of good in Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
I blocked the path of his retreat
Am G
He turned and stepped into the street
C G
A dozen guns spit fire and lead
Am G C
A moment later, he lay dead
F C
The town began to shout and cheer
Am Em
Nowhere was there shed a tear for Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
Am Em
The story spread throughout the land
Am G
That I had beaten Ringo's hand
C G
And it was just the years, they say
Am G C
That made me put my guns away
F C
But on his grave they can't explain
Am Em
The tarnished star above the name of Ringo
Am
(Ringo... Ringo... )
