| Em G D C D |2x

Verse:
Em                             G                    D   C D
They're looking for some hired guns on the Texas border
Em                             G                     D    C D
To shoot 'em all down if they try to cross over the water
Em                               G                       D    C D
And they've got their old white hoods and the same old orders
Em                      G                 D     C D
To keep the dark sons away from their daughters


Bridge:
Bm
The nights they came on horses
   D                   G
Are long gone with the wind
            Bm
Now they're passing out the torches
         D          G    A
And they're coming back again


Chorus:
          Em             G
There's a shotgun blast
          D           C D
There's a secret sign
Em                 G                            D     C D
It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
          Em               G
There's a fire on the cross
          D                   C     D
There's a fire on the cross tonight


Verse:
Em                            G                  D     C D
There wasn't any sound but it felt like sudden thunder
Em                  G                     D   C D
Two boards nailed together and burning bright
Em                                    G                 D   C D
He was walking by the window when he saw it,  now he wonders
Em                                   G
Just what he's got to do to make him see
                    D       C D
He just want to be brothers


Bridge:
Bm
The nights they came on horses
   D                   G
Are long gone with the wind
            Bm
Now they're passing out the torches
         D          G    A
And they're coming back again


Chorus:
          Em             G
There's a shotgun blast
          D           C D
There's a secret sign
Em                 G                            D     C D
It's not a candle burning and it's not a Sunday night
          Em               G
There's a fire on the night
          D                   C     D Em
There's a fire on the cross tonight
