[Verse 1]
 Em Am Em
A one-eyed Jack rode to Monterey in the heat of the blazing sun.
 C Em B7 Em
When Sheriff Longworth saw Kid Rio, he strapped on his fast gun.
 Em Am Em
The sheriff didn't trust the one eyed Jack nor the deadly smile he wore.
 C Em B7 Em
An' when that night he shamed Louisa, in vengeance the sheriff swore.

[Chorus]
 Em C D Em
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild.

[Refrão]
 Em B7
One-eyed Jacks are deadly, even when they smile.
 Em Am Em
Never trust a one-eyed Jack with his cold, cold heart of stone.
 Em B7
He will only show one side to you, for his soul is the devil's own.

[Verse 2]
 Em Am Em
Ten cracks of the sheriff's whip cut deep. The pain-filled Rio cursed.
 C Em B7 Em
"You'd better kill me while you can or I will get you first."
 Em Am Em
The angry sheriff raised his gun butt high, then smashed Rio's trigger hand.
 C Em B7 Em
"You're done for now, you one-eyed Jack, you will kill no other man."

[Chorus]
 Em C D Em
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild.

[Verse 3]
 Em Am Em
The creaky iron doors slammed shut tight. The one-eyed Jack was jailed.
 C Em B7 Em
With Louisa's help he soon escaped for his true love had not failed.
 Em Am Em
The horses rode off with the lovers two as the smokin' six guns burst.
 C Em B7 Em
The sheriff aimed his gun at the one-eyed Jack, but the one-eyed Jack shot first.

[Chorus]
 Em C D Em
Beware of the one-eyed Jacks, especially if they're wild.

[Refrão] (repetir)
