[Intro]
C G C C G C
[Verse 1]
C G C He rode up on a winter day C G C Steam rising off a streak-faced bay F C F Said, you probably know my name C G C If you don't it's Arkansas Dave
[Verse 2]
C G C He talked of fifteen years ago C G C And how he got the bay he rode F C F Said, he killed a man in Oh - i - o C G C First man he killed, first horse he stole
[Chorus 1]
F C F It was a long road for Arkansas Dave C G C He shot and left him where he lay F C F Said, he'd never forget that winter day C G C He rode off on a streak-faced bay
[Verse 4]
C G C I stood up and I shook his hand C G C Told no one that I knew this man F C F Started thinking of a plan C G C 'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand
[Verse 5]
C G C Didn't take him long to come unwound C G C He jumped up and gunned two men down F C F Ran outside to leave the town C G C But ol' bay was nowhere to be found
--Modulate up to D--
[Verse 6]
D A D I hid out with my forty-four D A D And when he walked back through the door G D G I shot till I could shoot no more D A D And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor
[Chorus 2]
G D G It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave D A D I shot and left him where he lay G D G I'll never forget that winter day D A D I rode off on the streak faced bay G D G No I'll never forget that winter day D A D I rode home on daddy's streak faced bay
