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 horizonThere 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 MexicoGonna 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 livinHalf 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 shotgunSeemed 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 campfireLight 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 D 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
Bullets spread out over the horizonThere was no fear in our eyes
Hear they sent 16 in to get us
Word is that only two survived.
Chorus
D
Headed down south to hangouts in MexicoGonna to let the smoke clear for a while
Taking that low down dirty tequila
Them senoritas sure make us smile
D
Some say we're no longer livinHalf a million voices took our lives
If you hear the blast from a shotgun
Might see us reappear into the night
Chorus
