[Verse 1]
Em
Daddy told me when I was seventeen
C              D                   Em
Live straight, shoot straight, and always keep my dreams
Em
But a man killed him, shot him in cold blood
      C               D               Em
As he died I held his hand I think he knew I understood

[Chorus]
        G          Bm            Am         Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
        D     Am             Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G           Bm          Am                Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
        C              D             Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun

[Verse 2]
Em
Some kill for money, some kill for gold
C           D                Em
I kill for vengeance cause I guess they took my soul
Em
Now I’m a running man, running in the rain
C               D              Em
I still see the faces, but the whisky kills the pain

[Chorus]
        G          Bm            Am         Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
        D     Am             Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G           Bm          Am                Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
        C              D             Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun

[Chorus]
        G          Bm            Am         Em
He said follow the sun where the west was won
        D     Am             Em
And the desert kissed the moon
G           Bm          Am                Em
One day I pray that you won’t need this gun
        C              D             Em
But for now, keep your back to the sun
           C              D             Em
I said for now, keep your back to the sun
         C              D             Em
Yeah for now, keep your back to the sun
