Misc Originals – Connor Allgood - Modern World (Guitar)

G
Horseback men would ride all day long

Em
Through hills and sagebrush plains

C
Pushing cattle to an old cowboy song

D
And barely had to work on the reigns

G
They would sleep under God’s night sky

Em
Wake to a coffee  in the dark

C
Some young outlaw would give his try

D
Oh he tried so hard just to leave his mark

C
That was in a different day

Am
At least that's what they would say

D               G
If they were in this modern world

C
Now it's asphalt fields

Am
But they still steal

D              G
Today in this modern world

G
Saloon girls and gambling men drinking

Em
In a small western town out in the desert

C
Young joey jack didn’t do no thinking

D
When he put a whole in Marshal Revert

G
His only focus was getting to Kansas

Em
See his kid brother before he was hung

C
Didn’t matter if he killed all of Texas

D
He’d see him again before death come

C
That was in a different day

Am
At least that's what they would say

D               G
If they were in this modern world

C
Now it's asphalt fields

Am
But they still steal

D              G
Today in this modern world

G
Miners and settlers drove out west

Em
Brought their whole family along

C
Tamed the wilds or at least tried their best

D
And they’d be remembered in some song

G
Respectable men would bring the law

Em
Others challenged them for worthless fame

C
They wanted to be the fastest on the draw

D
And kill just to spread their name

C
That was in a different day

Am
At least that's what they would say

D               G
If they were in this modern world

C
Now it's asphalt fields

Am
But they still steal

D              G
Today in this modern world
