Chords
From the album "So You Wannabe an Outlaw" (2017)
There's a heavy picking on the open A string while playing the A chord. While playing the A,
there's sometimes a walk on the E string like this: 3-2-0-3b and back to the A chord.
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A So you wannabe an outlaw, buddy, take it from me A This livin' on the highway ain't everything it's supposed to be A Everybody reckons that they wanna be free A D Ain't nobody wants to be alone A Stumblin' in the alley at a quarter to three A Hollerin' for Sally, "Honey, whatcha tryin' to do to me" A Told me "Go to hell, I'm goin' back to Tennessee" A I said, "Angel, you can never go home"
[Chorus]
D Never go home A Never go home A E A If you wannabe an outlaw, you can never go home
[Verse 2]
A So you wannabe an outlaw, better listen up, kid A Steal a million dollars then you have to keep it hid A Ain't no place to spend it in the desert if you did A D And you can't take it with you when you go A Always something laying for you up around the bend A Everything that goes around comes back around again A You can't trust anybody, not a lover or a friend A Your momma, maybe, then you never know
[Chorus]
D Never do know (Never do know) A Never do know (Well you never do know) A E A If you wanna be an outlaw, then you never do know
[Bridge]

D A
A E A
[Verse 3]
A So you wannabe an outlaw, son, you better think twice A You better not pout and you better not cry A 'Cause there won't nobody give a damn about you when you die A D But the devil when he comes for his due A When you're standin' at the crossroads, don't you try to flag a ride A Don't you fall down on your knees, don't you do what's already been tried A Hate to tell you but the only upside A Is you'll sing the devil out of the blues
[Chorus]
D Singing the blues A Keep on singing the blues A E A Sing the "So you say you wannabe an outlaw blues"
[Outro]

Hey, heyA
