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

              A 
His parents then let him shoot 
              D 
the empty cans out on their fence 
              Bm 
but Rex trick shot out all the nails 
              A 
so out the fence all their cows went 


His father cried!

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

            A 
He became a gun for hire 
            D 
and a hero whereever he roamed 
            Bm 
he disarmed forty bandits one time 
            A 
with two gunshots all on his own

When it came to gun slinging he was the best 

 D       A            E       D 
He had heart and a righteous stand 
 F#m                   A      E        F#m   
and they tell of his stories across the land 

 D              A         E        D 
He jammed the guns that fired his way 
F#m             A               E        F#m   
by shooting bullets into their barrels they say 

 D                          A             E            F#m   
He shot lightning from his hands with a miraculous invention,  
 D                 A           E                  F#m   
and zapped that evil demon train back to it's own dimension 

 D                     A         E         F#m   
That giant copper ore golem, oh it was a fright,  
 D                A             E    F#m   
till Rex projectiled pick axes with dynamite 

 D                         A                    E        F#m   
He fought the corrupt Rattlesnake King and it hissed in agony,  
 D                        A            E         F#m   
then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony

 D                  A                E                     D 
Rex Marksley rode across the West bringing justice to the land 
F#m                    A                    E               F#m   
He tamed enormous vultures, reined and flew them with one hand 

 D                           A          E           D 
All the women blushed and fainted when Rex winked his eye 
F#m                        A        E   F#m   
and the bad guys always fell to their demise 

 D               A         E                D 
The man was a legend and hero through and through 
 F#m               A            E              F#m   
and Rex was a friend to the battered and the bruised 

 D                      A         E           D 
He had seen a lot of wonderments in his glory days 
 F#m                A                  E      F#m   
and he died an old man alone on the prairie they say
