Merle Haggard – Shotgun And A Pistol (Guitar)

     G                      D
That mornin', a lady locked arms with a shotgun

                                  A
And the pistol rode west with the sun

        G                        D              Bm
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever

          D                   C
Know that death is the way of the gun

                          C               D
They fought side by side, undefeated each time

C
Speed of their guns were the same

                           C
From Dodge City, Kansas to wild Arizona

    D
All outlaws alike knew their name

                     C
A shotgun, a pistol, known the world over

        D
And the two biggest guns in the west

                                         C
But the whole town of Tombstone knew the friendship was shaky

         D              A           D
And they wondered which one was the best

                C
Only a shootout could settle the question

     D            A          D
That lay heavy on everyone’s mind

                           C
Whiskey and loose talk and their love for a woman

     D
Made the shootout a matter of time

     G                      D
That mornin', a lady locked arms with a shotgun

                                  A
And the pistol rode west with the sun

    G                                D          Bm
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever

          C
Know that death is the way of the gun

                             C
The day of the duel had been set by the town

           D
That lived up to it's blood-thirsty name

                      C
Some said the pistol, some said the shotgun

D
Some said the town was to blame

                                       C
But some outlaws named Clanton and the O.K. Corral

        D
Changed history and canceled the game

                                   C
When the shootout was over and the outlaws lay dyin’

    D
Old Tombstone was silently shamed

     G                      D
That mornin', a lady locked arms with a shotgun

                                A
And a pistol rode west with the sun

    G                                D          Bm
Now the outlaws of Tombstone and the outlaws forever

     C                       D
Know death is the way of the gun
