(Verse 1)
[C] Came from the [G] Mountains
[Am] On a dusty [F] covered trail
[C] The day they [G] found him
[Am] They knew he was [F] headed for hell
[C] with Fire in his [G] eyes
[Am] he was Bound to get [F] caught
[C] A Cherokee [G] outlaw death would be his call
[Am] wherever he stepped
[F] leaving a cold bloody body behind

(Chorus)
[C] Cherokee [G] Bill
[Am] Cherokee [F] Bill
[C] A blood-thirsty [G] outlaw
[Am] Headed for [F] hell


(Verse 2)
[C] I was told about this [G] story when I was [Am] young
[F] He was mean and [C] vicious, they [G] said
[Am] A Cherokee [F] outlaw
[C] Wanted on both [G] sides of the [Am] fence
[F] from the Shadows in the [C] night
[G] He danced with fate [Am] a dance of death
[F] turned into a A legend he C] made
[G] A heart that won’t [Am] heal set out to kill, so they just called him Cherokee bill,



(Verse 3)
[C] They say he rode like [G] thunder
[Am] With all the men he killed F] riding bye his side
[C] like whispers in the [G] wind
[Am] Where ever he talk like shadows in the night [F] followed by his side
[C] With every step he [G] he took another ghost
[Am] The ground would [F] shake
[C] A Cherokee bill [G] a outlaw
[Am] he knew [F] his fate

(Bridge)
[Em] ON, the Day [C] HE WAS TO BE HUNG
[G] they ask any request he replied [D] I came to dye
[Em] not to make some fancy SPEACH
[G] In him to the end, who [D] knows? Maybe he had some good in him somewhere along the way
