Вступление
Bowie Knife - Frankie Laine
[Intro]
C#mF#m
I got off the riverboat in New Orleans
C#m
In the spring of '82
D#7
I walked into a gambling house
G#7C#m
As gamblers often do
[Verse]
C#mF#m
I had myself a drink
C#m
And I joined in a poker game
D#7
The dealer was a woman
G#7C#m
So I asked her for her name
C#mF#m
She smiled at me so pretty
C#m
But a hush fell over the place
D#7
As a big man crossed the table
G#m
Stood up and slapped my face
[Chorus]
F#mC#m
Bowie knife, Bowie knife,
G#7C#m
Long, glitterin' steel
F#mC#m
If my gun don't take your evil life
G#7C#m
You can bet, my Bowie knife will
[Verse]
C#mF#m
I had my choice of weapons
C#m
On which to defend my life
D#7
I chose a set of pistols
G#7C#m
And a long old Bowie knife
C#mF#m
I met him by the river
C#m
By the light of the rising sun
D#7
Was I prepared to fight him?
G#7C#m
I feared my time had come
C#mF#m
As we stood back to back
C#m
there on the duelin' green
D#7
I cursed the fate that brought me
G#7C#m
To the town of New Orleans
C#mF#m
The referee startS counting
C#m
The paces one by one
D#7
When I heard him say twenty
G#7C#m
I turned and fired my gun
C#mF#m
I knew at once I'd missed
C#m
And I waited there in fear, as
D#7
The stranger aimed and fired
G#7
But the bullet went by my ear
C#mF#m
He threw away his pistol
C#m
And drew his Bowie knife
D#7
I knew that razor edge
G#7C#m
Would soon snuff out my life
C#mF#m
But somehow luck was with me
C#m
And my weapon found his side
D#7
He lay there on the duelin' ground
G#7C#m
Then he cursed me as he died
[Chorus]
F#mC#m
Bowie knife, Bowie knife,
G#7C#m
Long, glitterin' steel
F#mC#m
If my gun don't take your evil life
G#7C#m
You can bet, my, Bowie knife will
