Chords

The picking riffs are below the lyrics. For most of the versus you are just strumming D with the riffs in the background; works well with a looper pedal.
D
Hear the blast from a shotgun

D
 Seemed to disappear into the night

D
 Ain't no two-bit lawman

D
 Got a chance in hell of takin' my life

D
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire

D
 Light up the stars with my game

D
 Left home at only fifteen

D
 Started out to make my name
(Chorus)
C          G           D
 And we were american outlaws

C       G          D
 Ridin' across the plain

C       G             D
 From Montana down to Mexico

C         G             D
 Tryin' to find a better way

D (repeated)
I see our names on railroad posters
Sayin' we're wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon
D (repeated)
Bullets spread out over the horizon
There was no fear in our eyes Hear they sent 16 in to get us Word is that only two survived. Chorus
D (repeated)
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while Taking that low down dirty tequila Them senoritas sure make us smile
D (repeated)
Some say we're no longer livin
Half a million voices took our lives If you hear the blast from a shotgun Might see us reappear into the night Chorus
D
 Hear the blast from a shotgun
Seemed to disappear into the night Ain't no two-bit lawman Got a chance in hell of takin' my life
D
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
Light up the stars with my game Left home at only fifteen Started out to make my name (Chorus)
C          G           D
 And we were american outlaws

C       G          D
 Ridin' across the plain

C       G             D
 From Montana down to Mexico

C         G             D
 Tryin' to find a better way

Sayin' we're wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon
