That's One You Owe Me Lyrics
by Johnny Cash
intro:
2 fret low E bend X 2
STRUM B7 3 TIMES. THEN LET E RING OUT
There was a showdown at high noon reputations on the line
It was the good guys and the bad guys I was eight and he was nine
And I forgot to keep my back to the wall in Dodge that day
And from somewhere behind me I heard him say
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
G# C#M B A OR A7
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
But just remember you owe me one"
STRUM B7 3 TIMES. THEN LET E RING OUT
It was high school football on two different teams
I was good but he was better than I would ever be
And when I finally crossed the goal line ahead of him that day
As the crowd was goin' wild I heard him say
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
G# C#M B A OR A7
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
But just remember you owe me one"
STRUM B7 3 TIMES. THEN LET E RING OUT
She was long and lean and pretty and soon to be his bride
When she strayed into my arms one day with lovin' on her mind
Well I was almost tempted by her soft touch and her sigh
But the next time I saw him I could look him in the eye
STRUM B7 3 TIMES. THEN LET E RING OUT
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
G# C#M B A OR A7
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
But just remember you owe me one"
"That's one you owe me I let you slide
I can't back shoot a buddy it goes against my pride
G# C#M B A OR A7
So like two desperados we'll ride off in the sun
But just remember you owe me one"
STRUM B7 3 TIMES. THEN LET E RING OUT
