[Verse 1]
          D
As he lay dying
   G       D
He said 'I hate you
                A
And I hope your soul
                 A
Goes straight to hell

               D
You think it's justice
       G        D
You'll hang for murder
     A
What degree
           D
I'll never tell

[Chorus]
                  D
Hey, water for my horses
       G       D
That's all I'm askin'
                 A
You can tell the law
            A
Which way I go

          D
All of my dreams
    G    D
Are only windsongs
            A
Through the trees
            D
That seldom blow

[Verse 2]
                 D
Hey I don't mind dyin'
          G      D
Lord I've had my livin'
                A
And I played it straight
                A
When I knew the rules

             D
She said she loved me
    G    D
And I believed her
               A
Now I'm on the run
             D
The original fool

[Chorus]
                  D
Hey, water for my horses
       G       D
That's all I'm askin'
                 A
You can tell the law
            A
Which way I go

          D
All of my dreams
    G    D
Are only windsongs
            A
Through the trees
            D
That seldom blow

[Verse 3]
           D
If you see Jesus
G            D
Tell him I'm sorry
          A
I did not know
           A
What I had done

             D
Like a dirty dog
      G        D
I was drunk on whisky
               A
And I killed a man
                      D
Just to have a little fun

[Chorus]
                  D
Hey, water for my horses
       G       D
That's all I'm askin'
                 A
You can tell the law
            A
Which way I go

          D
All of my dreams
    G    D
Are only windsongs
            A
Through the trees
            D
That seldom blow

[Outro]
          D
All of my dreams
    G    D
Are only windsongs
            A
Through the trees
            D    Asus4 D
That seldom blow
