[Verse]
Bm Am C G
Your weary army wandered into Jacksboro
C D
a ragged bunch at best
Bm Am
stumbled through the hunting grounds
C G
on to Crego's Row
C D
a ragged bunch at best
[Chorus]
Em A C G
Rag pickers, bone pickers of hides and skins
Em A C G
looting all the riches of the land
[Verse]
Bm Am C G
The mule drivers fingers are turning into claws
C D
his skins are piled high
Bm Am C G
chewing on a robins wing or sleeping with the whores
C D
his skins are piled high
[Chorus]
Em A C G
Rag pickers, bone pickers of hides and skins
Em A C G
looting all the riches of the land
[Bridge]

All the men are going to collect their salaries

Opium and whiskey gonna make them sleep and dream
Em A C Em A C G
[Verse]
Bm Am C G
Triumph doesn't last too long it passes oh so quick

late into the night time you just gorge until you're sick

your time is running short

looting all the riches of the land

a ragged bunch at best

stumbled through the hunting grounds

to kill the buffalo
C D
a ragged bunch at best
[Chorus]
Em A C G
Rag pickers, bone pickers of hides and skins
Em A C
looting all the riches of the land
Em A C
looting all the riches of the land
