      C           Em7    F       C
There never was a man so doggone mean
              Em7        F         G
I wore only black and my eyes were green
    C              Em7          F    C
And I can tell ya, now that I'm very old
             Em7       F        C
I'd kill any man for a piece of gold

CHORUS:

Oh, oh, oh, what a life I've led
                 G   F   G     F         G

Oh, oh, oh, what a life I've led
               G    F    G       F            C

              G   F    G     F            C                       F
Left a lot of men dead and a lot of girls crying (yes, I did)


  C         Em7        F      C
I rode into Dodge on a sunny day
                Em7           F         G
I went there to steal all the railmen's pay
    C           Em7           F           C
And when I left town, all the streets ran red
                   Em7             F          C
I had ten grand in gold, and three guards lay dead


CHORUS:

Oh, oh, oh, what a life I've led

Oh, oh, oh, what a life I've led
               G    F    G       F            C

BRIDGE:
        G              F             C
I was a bad man with a heart made of stone
              G                      F        G
If you were a wise man, you would've left me alone______


     C         Em7             F      C
I've lived all my life, such a lonely one
               Em7         F        G
Just me and my horse and a fine six-gun
     C              Em7         F          C
I've lived and I've loved and I knew great pain
                Em7       F     C
But I know now, I'd do it over again, singing


CHORUS:
