G                            
Ho-woah-oo-oh-ho-ho-oo-woah- no

Am
Hoo-oo-woo-oo-oo

G
Ho-oh-oo-woah-oh-oh-oo-woah-no- oo

Am              B
Hoo-woo-

Em                              Am
Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark

B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks

Em                              Am
Six guns by the side and bullets ‘round their waist

B
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase

Em                              Am
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free

B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene

Em                              Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs “they’re on the run!

B
It’s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!”

G                           Am
I said I wish that we could stay here

                        G
But I fear our time has come

                           Am
Oh we can ride out in the darkness

                    G
Chasing the rising sun

                            Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant

                                      G
We’re heading southbound to the next town

                           Am
And if we arrive there so safely

             B      G G G       Am
Baby you can lay me down

       G G G    Am
Lay me down

       G G G    Am
Lay me down

       G G G    Am
Lay me down

Em                              Am
Well it’s the story of the two always on the move

B
They got nothing left to lose ‘cept their guns and they wounds

Em                              Am
Now they’re crossing borders sheriff’s posse on their tail

B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell

Em                              Am
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night

B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight

Em                              Am
So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price

B
They wouldn’t stop running ‘til they found a paradise

Em                              Am
But the Sheriff finally found ‘em with his eyes seeing red

B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead

Em                              Am
They were finally free to find a place to lay their head

B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:

G                             Am
I said I think that we could stay here

                           G
'cause I feel our time has come

                            Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean

                    G
Sit with the rising sun

                         Am
So unpack your bags this instant

                              G
No more running from town to town

                               Am
And now that we've arrived so safely

             B      G G G       Am
Baby you can lay me down

       G G G    Am

G G G                                           Am
Well you’re my green eyed girl and I’ve been running round with you

G G G                          Am
It’s the afternoon and we got nothing left to do

G G G                            Am
So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off 

G G G                                   Am
And we should go hit the cantina we got work off 

G G G                             Am
I said it’s hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes

G G G                                    Am
We’ve been running for a while why’oncha lay down make me smile

G G G                                    Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this 

G
It’s just tequila and the beach that’s why it’s salty when we kiss

G                             Am
I said I think that we could stay here

                           G
'cause I feel our time has come

                            Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean

                    G
Sit with the rising sun

                         Am
So unpack your bags this instant

                              G
No more running from town to town

                               Am
And now that we've arrived so safely

             B      G G G       Am
Baby you can lay me down
