Verse 1:
E minorEm G+G
They were dueling, Doolin-Dalton
E minorEm G+G
High or low, it was the same
C majorC E minorEm
Easy money and faithless women
D MajorD G+G
Red-eye whiskey for the pain
E minorEm E minorEm G+G G+G
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
E minorEm E minorEm G+G G+G
Two brothers lying dead in Coffeyville
C majorC C majorC E minorEm E minorEm
Two voices call to you from where they stood
A minorAm
Lay down your law books now
C majorC G+G
They're no damn good
Chorus:

Better keep on moving, Doolin-Dalton
E minorEm G+G
Till your shadow sets you free
C majorC E minorEm
If you're fast, and if you're lucky
C majorC D MajorD G+G
You will never see that hanging tree
Verse 2:
G+G E minorEm
Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains
C majorC E minorEm
Like graveyards filled with tombstones, waiting for the names
G+G E minorEm
And a man could use his back, or use his brains
C majorC D MajorD
But some just went stir crazy, Lord, cause nothing ever changed
Chorus:
E minorEm G+G
Until Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
E minorEm G+G
He was working cheap, just biding time
C majorC E minorEm
Then he laughed and said, I'm going
C majorC D MajorD G+G A minorAm C majorC G+G
And so he left that peaceful life behind
