Intro: Away, away, away rode the Rebel, Johnny Yuma

CAPO: 1st FretKEY: BbPLAY: A

Johnny Yuma, was a Rebel, he roamed through the west
This Johnny Yuma, the Rebel, he wandered alone
He got fightin' mad, this Rebel lad
He packed no star as he wandered far
Where the only law was a hook and a draw
The Rebel, (away, away) Johnny (away) Yuma (rode the Rebel).

Johnny Yuma, was a Rebel, he roamed through the west
This Johnny Yuma, the Rebel, he wandered alone
He searched the land, this restless lad
He was panther quick and leather tough
And he figured he'd been pushed enough
The Rebel, (away, away) Johnny (away) Yuma (rode the Rebel);

CHANGE to [C] Johnny Yuma

Johnny Yuma was a Rebel, he roamed through the west
This Johnny Yuma, the Rebel, he wandered alone
Fightin' mad, this Rebel lad
With a dream he'd hold til his dyin' breath
He'd search his soul and gamble with death
The Rebel, (away, away) Johnny (away) Yuma (rode the Rebel).

TAG: Johnny Yuma.
