Verse:

BB                 E MajorE
I met a pretty girl the next town over
                F#F#
Running like a river, thin and long
BB
Other than her dress
      E MajorE
She looked mighty well depressed
   BB     F#F#          BB
So I asked this little lady what was wrong

BB                     E MajorE
She said, "All my life I've tried to be an outlaw
   BB                  F#F#
I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob
   BB
But I ain't no good at thieven'
   E MajorE
So I might as well be leaven
 BB         F#F#    BB
I think I'm off and go get a job"

BB                  E MajorE
I told the pretty girl, "Don't be so foolish
   BB               F#F#
Don't be so quick to leave a life of crime
BB
See I'll be quick to call it
    E MajorE
You can practice on my wallet
  BB         F#F#         BB
And that way if you're caught you won't do time"


Chorus:

F#F#
Just rob me!
BB
Just rob me!
BB                    F#F#
A augmentedA pretty face like yours don't come for free
BB
If I can call you honey
     E MajorE
Well then you can take my money
  BB        F#F#
So darlin keep your gun
BB
And just rob me

Verse 2:

BB                 E MajorE
I see the girl again a few months later
  BB             F#F#
To see her with her gun was a relief
    BB
I said, "Honey you've got attributes
   E MajorE
Like lace and lips and high heeled boots
  BB        F#F#      BB
But dearie your just no good as a thief"

BB                     E MajorE
She said, "Mister how do you know that I'm failin'
 BB               F#F#
I might have robbed twenty banks today"
 BB
I looked into her eyes
      E MajorE
And said, "Miss, I'd be surprised,
    BB          F#F#      BB
You're pointing that there gun the wrong way.

-Repeat Chorus-

Bridge:
F#F#           BB
Maybe every woman is an outlaw
  F#F#                  BB
I'm pretty sure they're pretty thieves in black
    F#F#            F#F#
They'll make you scream like smoke
              F#F#
And then they rob you broke
             F#F#      F#F#  F#F#
But I suppose don't mind being robbed like that


Verse 3:

BB                 E MajorE
So my pretty thief and I started a family
    BB           F#F#
Yeah my outlaw's been given me inlaws
  BB
She kept her thievin art
    E MajorE
Sure as rain she stole my heart
    BB          F#F#   BB
But she tells me it's for a worthy cause

-Repeat Chorus-
