Em GEasy Roy, today is not a good day
C   D
There’s no break to try and cross the border
The troops are pushing up along the river
The braves are painted gearing up for murder
Easy Roy, life is more than heroes
And there’s a fight not worth the in-between
I suggest you stop and rest your horses
And let this day slip into the next
C  G  Em  Dand the wind will howl the names of your children
The night will fall upon you like an anchor
C  G  D Em
And no matter how you’re feeling bout what’s wrong or right
C  D  Em
Can’t you see tonight is not the night

Em GEasy Roy, she’s the captain’s daughter,
C   D
The one that lied to try and save the injuns
The one that drinks and curses like a sailor
Her knife still stands inside the braggart’s temple
Time you spend waiting for the moment
When things will clear and your choice is easy made
All is lost if you lose your good intentions
Don’t decide just because you think you love her

C  G  Em  Dand the wind will howl the names of your children
The night will fall upon you like an anchor
C  G  D Em
And no matter how you’re feeling bout what’s wrong or right
C  D  Em
Can’t you see tonight is not the night

Em GEasy Roy, life is more than dyin’
C   D
And all you got is what you’re looking at
Don’t pretend there’s something such as noble
To live’s to fly and there aint no looking down

C  G  Em  Dand the wind will howl the names of your children
The night will fall upon you like an anchor
C  G  D Em
And no matter how you’re feeling bout what’s wrong or right
C  D  Em
Can’t you see tonight is not the night
