[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Don't reveal my name F When you get to the border Dm Don't you speak my name F When you walk upon the sea Dm Near the banks of the river F Where the waters call the faithful Dm Just forget you know my name Dm 'Cause they will not let me be
[Verse 2]
Dm Pity me young and foolish F With the pride of old Elijah Dm I've a taste for the liquor F That will set my spirit free Dm All the lovers I have taken F Keep me running after midnight Dm My name ever changing F Dm So they cannot follow me
[Verse 3]
Dm I worked in bars earning money F With a deck of cards to guide me Dm I could let them see the ace F Make it vanish in the air Dm Some say devil some said magic F My cards of light would fool them Dm Full of lies, twists and fortune F Dm Outlaw, stranger, wild and free
[Verse 4]
Dm Darkest night dealing trouble F To the edge of the table Dm Came a man chewing gold F Staring eyes that could not see Dm But he heard every deal F Of those fifty two companions Dm Pulled a gun on my game Dm Fired a bullet, misery
[Interlude]
Dm G Dm G F Dm
G Dm
[Verse 5]
Dm I lay for dead as the fight broke F Then I chanced and crawled for cover Dm Found my way to the back F And out into the night Dm Tricks and deals, friends and lovers F Left behind, and I'm still running Dm Now a price on my head F Dm Where a rope waits hanging high
[Verse 6]
Dm So don't reveal my name F When you get to the border Dm Don't you speak my name F When you walk upon the sea Dm Near the banks of the river F Where the waters call the faithful Dm Just forget you know my name Dm 'Cause they will not let me be
[Outro]
Dm Forget you know my name Dm 'Cause they will not let me be Dm Forget you know my name Dm 'Cause they will not let me be Dm Will not let me be Dm Will not let me be...
