Topic: t:title"old doc halliday"

[c]Way down in tombstone, a[f] gamblers life,
Doc[c] halliday played there, [g]whisky bottle by his side,
[c]card tricks he played, to[f] get the upper hand,
if[c] any-one argued, he'd[g] fill em full of holes.

chorus
[f]Doc halliday,[c] lives way out west,
[f]Doc halliday,[g] helped cure the sick,
he [c]lived life to the full,
but[g] ended up on boot [c]hill.

[c]his reputation grew, every[f]where he went,
[c]no-one got the better,[g] of Doc halliday,
he[c] played the game, lives[f] life to the full,
the[c] ladies would gather, when they[g] heard his [c]name.

chorus
[f]Doc halliday,[c] lives way out west,
[f]Doc halliday,[g] helped cure the sick,
he[c] lived life to the full,
but[g] ended up on boot[c] hill.

[c]Now doc had a friend, called[f] wyatt earp,
a[c] marshall of law, fastest[g] gun in town,
[c]many tried their hand, ended [f]up on boot hill,
then[c] guns were barred, [g]in tomb-[c]stone.

chorus
[f]doc halliday,[c] lives way out west,
[f]doc halliday[g] helped cure the  sick,
he[c] lived life to the full,
but[g] ended up on boo[c] hill.

[c]along came, the cin-cin-[f]atti kid,
[c]a top hat he wore, but he [g]could'nt shoot straight,
so a [c]sawn off shotgun, [f]blazoned his side,
[c]could'nt fail to miss,cause  the [g]shot goes [c]wide.

chorus
[f]doc halliday,[c] live way out west,
[f]doc hallida,[g] helped cure the sick,
he[c] lived life to the full,
but[g] ended up on boot [c]hill.

[c]old docs health was failing,he[f] got really sick,
he[c] made one last effort, to[g] help his friend,
[c]they went after some outlaws, got[f] shot in the gut,
old[c] doc died, its[g] how he wanted t[c] go.

chorus
[f]doc halliday,[c] lived way out west,
[f]doc halliday,[g] helped cure the sick,
he[c] lived life to the full,
but[g] ended up on boot[c] hill.

Re: t:title"old doc halliday"

Nice daddycool.I'm a big fan of the old west.Doc and Jesse,Butch and Sundance and then there was Billy.One of my favorite albums is the sound track off Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.Bob Dylan not only played a good role but wrote(Knocking on Heavens Door) some great tunes for it.
Thanks a ton

Re: t:title"old doc halliday"

Yeehaw Daddycool,

These songs always remind me of me Da, he loved westerns. I remember one time we had watched a cowboy film with him. When it was finished ,he asked the wee ones to go quick and get a sweeping brush  and pan? When asked for what ? he said "To clean up all the horse manure from behind the TV ??. God i remember i laughed meself silly at the faces of the wee ones.
I used to hang an old straw hat on my outstretched arm, him and i would sing this song while  Me Mam played Harmonica.   Gosh such happy simple times they were.
I could tell you another story about this song and 28 woman in africa! But its so rude, i know Per would have a stroke. So its for my memoirs.
