        Fm                Eb
Well, I hope to tell you, Johnny

       Db             Eb
That I lay that rifle down

       Fm                      Eb
Had to leave the noose and the calaboose

      Db                 Eb      Fm
And a-headed for another town
[Verse]
                            Eb
Well, I've got your name in San Jose

         Db                 Eb
And your picture's there to see

            Fm              Eb
And they're shootin' men in Texas

       Db                   Eb
Just because they look like me

    Ab              Db            Eb               Ab

                                     Db                     Eb
And we will hide for forty years, if that's what's meant to be

         Db           Eb
Meant to be, meant to be

                      Db           Eb    Fm
Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be
[Verse]
                       Eb
Maybe we could try for Mexico

    Db               Eb
And cross the desert sand

            Fm                  Eb
But they're guardin' 'cross the border

         Db           Eb
'Case we swim the Rio Grande
[Chorus]

Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be

Well, they'll rope and tie you, Johnny

            Db               Eb
And they'll throw you to the ground

            Fm            Eb
And they'll let you hang a week or two

           Db            Eb
'Fore they cut your body down
[Chorus]
    Ab              Db            Eb               Ab
And we will run the ridges of our green land Tennessee

Meant to be, meant to be

Meant to be, meant to be, meant to be
