Capo on the 2nd fret. Verse 1:

         B
	I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks

             E
	I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took

                 F#
	You can read a different story in a lot of different books

            E
	But even then you won't really know

                F#               B
	How it was a long time ago

Verse 2:

         B
	Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men

             E
	In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then

	      F#
	They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in

               E
	I was born with a fire down below

               F#                          B
	And i learned to fly a long time ago

Verse 3:

         B
	Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain

           E
	About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane

              F#
	Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane

            E
	I think you already know

	I told you that a long time ago

Verse 4:(a tone higher)

         C#
	Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought

            F#
	I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought

            G#
	We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught

               F#
	They tried to run us off but Willie's slow

            G#                       C#
	I quit running a long time ago
