Chords

[Chorus] N.C. Bullet in my shoulder,
     F
Blood runnin' down my vest,

F           
Twenty in the posse,

G7                               C
And they're never gonna let me rest.

F               Bb
Till I became a wanted man,

F               C
I never owned a gun,

Dm                          G              
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,

C                    F
And I'm always on the run
[Verse 1]
F                    Bb
I killed poor Jed Bryant

C                   F
In a bad Laredo fight,

F                  Bb
Killed him with my bare hands

         C                 F
For the girl I loved that night.

Bb                          F
Jed's brother's out to get me, 

Bb                    F
He's comin' with a gang

Bb                     F               Bb      C      F
I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em watch me hang
[Chorus] N.C. Bullet in my shoulder,
     F
Blood runnin' down my vest,

F           
Twenty in the posse,

G7                               C
And they're never gonna let me rest.

F               Bb
Till I became a wanted man,

F               C
I never owned a gun,

Dm                          G              
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,

C                    F
And I'm always on the run
[Verse 2]
F                       Bb
She had spangles on her wedding dress

        C               F        
She had laughter in her voice,

    F                            Bb     
And when they tried to put their hands on her

    C               F
My heart left me no choice.

    Bb             F
Now was she really worth it?

    Bb             F
I guess I'll never know,

    Bb              F                      Bb     C      F
She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below.
[Chorus] N.C. Bullet in my shoulder,
     F
Blood runnin' down my vest,

F           
Twenty in the posse,

G7                               C
And they're never gonna let me rest.

F               Bb
Till I became a wanted man,

F               C
I never owned a gun,

Dm                          G              
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,

C                    F
And I'm always on the run
