When it came to gun slinging he was the best


                Bb
Rex Marksley at an younger age
                Eb
shot holes in cans without a missin'
                Cm
sadly they were in the pantry
                Bb
so beans painted the whole darn kitchen


              Bb
His parents then let him shoot
              Eb
the empty cans out on their fence
              Cm
but Rex trick shot out all the nails
              Bb
so out the fence all their cows went

His father cried!

Rex Marksley was a tinkerer
            Eb
an engineer extraordinaire
            Cm
He made quick-reloading gadgets
            Bb
so he could fire non-stop with panache and flare


            Bb
He became a gun for hire
            Eb
and a hero whereever he roamed
            Cm
he disarmed forty bandits one time
            Bb
with two gunshots all on his own

When it came to gun slinging he was the best


 Eb       Bb            F       Eb
He had heart and a righteous stand
 Gmin                 Bb      F        Gmin
and they tell of his stories across the land


 Eb              Bb         F        Eb
He jammed the guns that fired his way
Gmin           Bb               F        Gmin
by shooting bullets into their barrels they say


 Eb                          Bb             F            Gmin
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention,
 Eb                 Bb           F                  Gmin
and zapped that evil demon train back to it's own dimension


 Eb                     Bb         F         Gmin
That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright,
 Eb                Bb             F    Gmin
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite


 Eb                         Bb                    F        Gmin
He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony,
 Eb                        Bb            F         Gmin
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land
Gmin                  Bb                    F               Gmin
He tamed enormous vultures, reined and flew them with one hand


 Eb                           Bb          F           Eb
All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye
Gmin                      Bb        F   Gmin
and the bad guys always fell to their demise


 Eb               Bb         F                Eb
The man was a legend and hero through and through
 Gmin             Bb            F              Gmin
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised


 Eb                      Bb         F           Eb
He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days
 Gmin              Bb                  F      Gmin
and he died an old man alone on the prairie they say
