Vigilante Man Lyrics
(Woody Guthrie)
(E) - (A) - (B7) Capo on 1
(E) Have you seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?
(A) Have you (E) seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?
(A) Have you (E) seen that (A) vigilante (E) man ?
I've been hearin' his (B7) name all over the (E) land.
Rainy nights down in the engine house,
Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
A man came along and he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man ?
Well, I rambled around from town to town,
Now, I rambled around from town to town,
And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
Was that the vigilante man ?
Well, why does a vigilante man ?
Tell me why does a vigilante man ?
Carry that sawed-off shot-gun in his hand ?
Would he shoot his brother and sister down ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
I've been hearin' his name all over the land.
(E) - (A) - (B7) Capo on 1

Sleepin' just as still as a mouse,
A man came along and he chased us out in the rain.
Was that a vigilante man ?

And they herded us around like a wild herd of cattle.
Was that the vigilante man ?
Tell me why does a vigilante man ?

Would he shoot his brother and sister down ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
Have you seen that vigilante man ?
I've been hearin' his name all over the land.

A vigilante is someone who takes the laws into their own hands. Like Batman, or the X-Men.
