[Intro 1] A A [Intro 2] A A A A [Chorus]
A    D   A     D        A
[tab]D            A        A    E   A              A
ten thousand dollars, dead or alive.
[Verse 1]
     A               D                A          A
They tell me down in town I'm gettin' famous,

            A              E                A         A
they're all makin' me come home but I won't budge.

  A                 D                A          A
Important folks are waitin' there to see me

         A               A              E         E
like the sheriff and the jailer and the judge.

   E                E                 A           A
My picture's on the front page of the paper,

        A             E             A            A
I'm the local boy who wandered off alone.

          D               D                  A         A
Now, they want me back so bad they're giving money

       A                     E                A         A
to the first man who'll come out and bring me home.
[Chorus]
A    D   A     D        A
Dead or alive, dead or alive,

D            A        A    E   A        
ten thousand dollars, dead or alive.
[Interlude] A A A A [Verse 2]
    A                 D            A          A
One night last week I got a little reckless

      A                E             A         A
and I couldn't hold my triggerfinger still.

    A              D             A          A
The barrel pointed at the county Marshall

      A             A                 E         E
but I only meant to scare him, not to kill.

        E                  E                 A           A
Now the foothills of these mountains hold my secret,

     A                 E            A            A
only they know of this old deserted shack.

        D                D                  A         A
But the chances are some bloodhound's gonna find me

         A           E                A         A
and some other dirty dog will take me back.
[Chorus]
A    D   A     D        A
Dead or alive, dead or alive,

  D             A          A    E   A         A
I wonder if I'm better off dead or alive.
[Bridge]
       E                E             A            A
People always said that I'd amount to nothin',

        A             E             A              A
that to bury me would be a waste of earth.

       D                   D             A         A
But if they'll just put my price upon my tombstone

         A                  E            A         A
then the world can see what I was really worth.
[End-Chorus]
A    D   A     D        A
Dead or Alive, Dead or Alive,

D            A        A           E    A
ten thousand Dollars: Dead...or...A...live.
