[Am] [Am] [Am] [Am]
Verse
The [Am]mirage of Del [C]Rio it was [F]burning in his [C]eyes
And [Am]sleep had [C]escaped him, too [F]consumed by his [G]pride
Like the [Am]lonesome and high [C]country he was [F]lost in a [C]haze
And the [Am]thoughts of what he'd [C]do if he [F]unloaded all his [C]rage
The [Am]man from Waco
[Am]
Verse
The [Am]city was almost [C]silent as he [F]passed the humming [C]signs
On the [Am]corner he heard [C]laughter, made him [F]afraid of what he'd [G]find
He [Am]pushed through the [C]door, [F]hypnotized by a [C]sound
Just [Am]then tears [C]overcame him and his [F]heart began to [C]drown
The [Am]man from Waco

[Am]
Verse
It was [Am]there that he [C]shot her while the [F]lovers were [C]embraced
With the [Am]bullet he [C]intended for the [F]man who took his [G]place
He [Am]cried through the [C]night as he [F]made his [C]escape
But the [Am]rain that was [C]fallin' could not [F]wash away his [C]shame
The [Am]man from Waco
[Am]
Verse
On the [Am]banks of the [C]Brazos, where the [F]desert willow [C]grows
The [Am]clear shallow [C]water just won't [F]say all it [G]knows
A [Am]moment of burning [C]anger can curse the [F]living through the [C]days
You can [Am]let that river [C]take you but you will [F]never get [C]away
The [Am]man from Waco
