[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 among 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 ridin' 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
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 and 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
He 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
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, everybody held their breath
                                    Am
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
                      F
Was about to meet his death

[Verse 6]
---------------------
C             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 today
      F                                  C
Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
                                         Am
And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip
F                   C
The big iron on his hip

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