Chorus:
N.C.
Bullet in my shoulder,
FF
Blood runnin' down my vest,
FF
Twenty in the posse,
G7G7 C majorC
And they're never gonna let me rest.
FF Bb majorBb
Till I became a wanted man,
FF C majorC
I never owned a gun,
DmDm G+G
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
C majorC FF
And I'm always on the run
Verse 1:

I killed poor Jed Bryant
C majorC FF
In a bad Laredo fight,
FF Bb majorBb
Killed him with my bare hands
C majorC FF
For the girl I loved that night.
Bb majorBb FF
Jed's brother's out to get me,
Bb majorBb FF
He's comin' with a gang
Bb majorBb FF Bb majorBb C majorC FF
I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em watch me hang

She had spangles on her wedding dress

My heart left me no choice.
Bb majorBb FF
Now was she really worth it?
Bb majorBb FF
I guess I'll never know,

She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below.
