Blackie's Gunman

    G                                         D                 D7                               G
    I was known as Blackie's gunman, the best of gunman in the land
   G                                     D             D7                                  G
    I could shoot the ace of diamonds with a draw from either hand

      G                                D        D7                                     G
    With the dice I had no equal, some of them are with us now,
       G                                  D           D7                                      G
    most of them are sadly sleeping 'neath the weeping willow bough.

       G                                          D          D7                                       G
    Many a cowboy's game I've played in, left that night with all their gold,
    G                          D        D7                      G
    as a sport I was broken, as a sport I let it go.

    G                                         D       D7                                          G
    I once loved a girl named Nellie, how we loved no tongue can tell,
     G                               D          D7                                    G
    but I know I'll never meet her, oh t’was hard to say farewell.

            G                                             D       D7                                   G
    Her eyes were like the deep blue water, and her hair was golden curls,
            G                                             D       D7                                              G
    and her cheeks were crimson velvet and her teeth were snow white pearls.

          G                             D          D7                              G
    Together we lived in a cottage, and our life it was a dream,
      G                                           D           D7                                    G
    and the angels they watched o'er us, made our life one happy dream.
