CHORUS:
Chord diagramFF         Chord diagramG7G7
Four rode by,
Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramG7G7
Rode through here;
        Chord diagramC majorC         Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramG7G7         Chord diagramC majorC
Three Mclean boys and that wild Alex Hare.
Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramG7G7
They were armed,
Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramG7G7
All were armed,
       Chord diagramC majorC     Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramG7G7         Chord diagramC majorC
It was them. I'd have known them anywhere.

1ST VERSE:
   Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG7G7              Chord diagramFF             Chord diagramC majorC
Oh Willie Palmer's stallion was no twenty dollar cayuse,
    Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG7G7          Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramC majorC
And when the wild ones stole him he hightailed it into town
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG7G7               Chord diagramFF             Chord diagramC majorC
Usher in those days was keeping order in the district
                       Chord diagramG7G7                 Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramC majorC
But before he'd ridden thirty miles the McLean boys shot him down

CHORUS

2ND VERSE:
  Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG7G7            Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramC majorC
Chord diagramA augmentedA shepherd known as Kelly saw the wild bunch as they passed
     Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramG7G7        Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramC majorC
They shot him with a rifle and took his watch and chain
Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramG7G7                    Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramC majorC
When the posse found them they were in the lonely cabin
  Chord diagramC majorC                 Chord diagramG7G7              Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramC majorC
Chord diagramA augmentedA hunger took their fight away and no one else was slain

CHORUS

3RD VERSE:
     Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramG7G7       Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramC majorC
They hung the boys in January eighteen eighty one,
    Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG7G7                   Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramC majorC
The first time in that province that they'd strung up brothers three;
        Chord diagramC majorC                   Chord diagramG7G7                 Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramC majorC
And the son killed nineteen Germans 'cross the seas back in seventeen
Chord diagramC majorC                     Chord diagramG7G7                   Chord diagramFF        Chord diagramC majorC
One thing that's for damned sure they're a wild ass family

FINAL CHORUS

Rick in Macon  (some say the last phrase is wise OLD family)
