The great unknown
(E dur)
1.
Young man stands high on a hill, shake his fists at the sky above.
Down below in the valley there's a grave with a name of a woman he loved.
Out west cross the rivers and the plains now his brother's striking rich with gold.
Their sister in a hotel room shaking money off a man she knows.
Chorus
Just beyond the great unknown.
The answers that nobody knows.
Just beyond the great unknown.
The answers that nobody knows.
2.
Pale rider on a jet black mare, he got a rifle and a .44.
500 dollars from a train he robbed down south in Mexico.
Back home now his wife got a suitor, got a ring and an evening gown.
By the time that he reach Sioux City, she done laid that poor boy down, down, down.
Chorus
Solo.
Gitarr
3.
Red man with a scalp in his hand on a horse that he calls War.
Soldier just about three days out walks in through his front door.
Someone always gotta pay the debt. Someone always gotta settle the score.
No matter how much blood is shed, someone always wants more, more, more.
Chorus
