Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
      E MajorE               A minorAm
I left Tucson on a two rail, headed east
         E MajorE
across the planes
        E MajorE
On and iron horse choking black coal,
        F# minorF#m
number 7 prison train
      E MajorE
They had me chained up in a box car they
          A minorAm       E MajorE
took my pistol and my pride.
           E MajorE
They were taking me back to Texas and
          F# minorF#m
planned to hang me for my crimes

Chorus:
  A minorAm
I ain’t never met no shackles that could
   E MajorE
ever tie me down
      E MajorE
You know it always feels like flying right up
        F# minorF#m
till you hit the ground
                  A augmentedA     G# minorG#m
And I can hear her Whistlin Dixie so pour
   F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
the whisky til it’s gone
        E MajorE
Cause I’ve known friends and I’ve known
                  F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  E MajorE
outlaws but all my outlaw friends are gone

Verse 2:
    E MajorE
And I can taste the smoke and ambers, as
    A minorAm              E MajorE
the engine climbs the pass

And if they walked me to the gallows I
         F# minorF#m
 guess that long walk will be my last
              E MajorE
But there’s a short knife in my boot leg
        A minorAm         E MajorE
and we ain’t made Fort Worth yet
  E MajorE
If I get free and kill these guards just add
   F# minorF#m     E MajorE
that to my regrets

Chorus:
A minorAm
I ain’t never met no shackles that could
   E MajorE
ever tie me down
      E MajorE
You know it always feels like flying right up
        F# minorF#m
till you hit the ground
                  A augmentedA    G# minorG#m
And I can hear her Whistlin Dixie so pour
   F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
the whisky til it’s gone
        E MajorE
Cause I’ve known friends and I’ve known
                  F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  E MajorE
outlaws but all my outlaw friends are gone

Bridge:
          E MajorE
I pray for faith and for forgiveness, but I’m
         E MajorE
not sure he hears my call
          E MajorE
Some say deaths the only freedom, did I
  F# minorF#m
stumble or did I fall

Chorus:
A minorAm
I ain’t never met no shackles that could
   E MajorE
ever tie me down
      E MajorE
You know it always feels like flying right up
        F# minorF#m
till you hit the ground
                  A augmentedA     G# minorG#m
And I can hear her Whistlin Dixie so pour
   F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
the whisky til it’s gone
        E MajorE
Cause I’ve known friends and I’ve known
                  F# minorF#m    A augmentedA  E MajorE
outlaws but all my outlaw friends are gone
