Stretchin' all across the last frontier

Blessed is the lonesome pioneer

Am7/d
He can blaze the trail though the rumblin'
G
Dims his guidin' light to just a spark
Am7/d
When the hour is low, he comes tumblin'
G
But when the moon is high he gives his heart

And though he's mighty hungry, he takes none

Arrive, but their gifts looked grim

Now I'm tired of hanging on
Em
D/f#

Beautiful pearl, o when will you reappear?

Down where the valleys are low, there's a refuge so high

There the warmest winds hide

The Vigilante
G7
I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep of the night
C
G/b
Am7
I always find him where his heart is, he's fightin' the good fight
G/d
C/e
G/b
A/c#
He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave
G/d
C/e
G/b
C
He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher
A/c#
G/d
C/d
G7
He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet
G7
When I was stranded at the crossroads it was dismal and grey
C
G/b
Am7
And when I asked him for directions he showed me the good way
G/d
C/e
G/b
A/c#
And if the sky is swirlin' still his pace never swerves
G/d
C/e
G/b
C
Because his heart is always faithful, reachin' higher
A/c#
G/d
C/d
G7
Because his heart is always faithful to the captain he serves...
A7
G/b
A/c#
So when the storm of deception is roundin' the bend
G/d
C/e
C/d
G7
You know the vigilante's watchin', he won't let it in...
G7
Though I have seen him climbin' mountains with so heavy a load
C
G/b
Am7
He always lends a helpin' hand and he walks on the good road
G/d
C/e
G/b
A/c#
It often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease
A/c#
G/d
C/d
G7
But then he keeps his vigil constant, and he's aimin' to please
A7
G/b
A/c#
So when illusion's approachin' and danger is nigh
G/d
C/e
C/d
G7
You know the vigilante's watchin' and he won't let it by
G7
I've seen him fight the fiercest foe until it's forces divide
C
G/b
Am7
'Cause he's the fairest of them all and he chooses the good side
G/d
C/e
G/b
A/c#
So when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure
G/d
C/e
G/b
C
You know the fires of war are burnin', reachin' higher
A/c#
G/d
C/d
G7
You know the fires of war are burnin', but his weapons are pure
A7
G/b
A/c#
So when the clouds of confusion can creep into view
G/d
C/e
C/d
G7
You know the vigilante's watchin', and he won't let 'em through..
G7
C6
G7
He's watching twenty four hours a day
