[Intro]
D C G/B D/A
D C G/B D/A D G D A
[Verse 1]
D G D Cowboys and outlaws and long shiny rails D A Was the background setting of Grandpappy's tales D G D Places like Tucson and old Santa Fe D A D Cheyenne, Wyoming during Rodeo Days
[Verse 2]
D G D I'd sit there for hours perched on his knees D A And ride just as far as his memory could see D G D With Billy The Kid and the one Jesse James D A D D7 Rail-riding outlaws that robbed lots of trains
[Chorus]
G D Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid D A The one Jesse James and some things that we did G D Bm I knew them well, son, just like my own name A D C G/B D/A D G D A Billy and Jesse and me, we robbed trains
[Verse 3]
D G D But a boy don't stay seven all of his life D A And he starts to wonder what's true and what's lies D G D Still, respect makes him listen to an old man's refrain D A D D7 'bout a wild bunch of cowboys and some make-believe trains
[Chorus]
G D Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid D A The one Jesse James and some things that we did G D Bm I knew them well, son, just like my own name A D C G/B D/A D G D A Billy and Jesse and me, we robbed trains
[Verse 4]
D G D The funeral was family as funerals should be D A Except for two cowboys no one else could see D G D And then they were gone just as quick as they came D A D D7 Billy and Jesse had robbed one more train
[Chorus]
G D Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid D A The one Jesse James and some things that we did G D Bm I knew them well, son, just like my own name A D C G/B D/A D G D A D Billy and Jesse and me, we robbed trains
