Verse 1:
  G+G                 D*        G+G
At last I have called up with you and you're a sight to see:
G+G               D*    G+G
could this really be my outlaw lover JJ Sneed?
    C majorC               C majorC
Could a woman with a painted face and pretty sweet disguise
G+G                  D*      G*    F*      G+G
turn your heart against me with her evil cunning eyes, her evil cunning eyes.

Verse 2:
G+G               D*      G+G
JJ, it's been you and me right from the very start,
  G+G              D*       G+G
and ever job we ever pulled I'd always done my part.
   C majorC            C majorC
We'd really stick together until the bitter end
    G+G              D*          G*
and it was my understanding we were whole lots more than friends,
 F*         G+G
a whole lot more than friends.

Verse 3:
  G+G                D*          G+G
And it was me that kept you on when nights were dark and cold,
   G+G                D*        G+G
but I guess I didn't look like much in these old ragged clothes.
    C majorC                C majorC
But you said it didn't matter cause you love me that a way,
  G+G                D*        G*
you said that no one else could ever steal your heart away,
F*        G+G     N.C.  A augmentedA     A augmentedA
steal your heart away.

Verse 4: (Key Change to DbDb)
  A augmentedA              E*         A augmentedA
Do you recall the Union Bank we robbed in Franklin Town,
A augmentedA             E*         A augmentedA
as we made our getaway the sheriff gunned you down.
   D MajorD                 D MajorD
And I doctored up your bullet wounds and nursed you while you sit,
  A augmentedA              E*        A*
but now you have betrayed me, is that the thanks I get,
  G*        A augmentedA
is that the thanks I get?

Verse 5:
     A augmentedA            E*       A augmentedA
Oh, yeah, JJ, I'm thinking now of how we'd all begun,
  A augmentedA                     E*       A augmentedA
of all the times we've robbed and killed with our trust wordy gun.
  D MajorD              D MajorD
Why we stood off a fuss, it was JJ just you and I,
  A augmentedA              E*          A*
but now you have betrayed me and for that you're gonna die,
     G*        A augmentedA
yeah, for that you're gonna die.

Verse 6:
  A augmentedA             E*          A augmentedA
The good old days are over as we stand here in the rain,
 A augmentedA               E*         A augmentedA
JJ, I'm gonna shoot you now, I hope you'll feel no pain.
    D MajorD             D MajorD
I hear whoopees of the horses and fieces on my trail,
 A augmentedA                E*   A*
I guess I'll join you soon but for now JJ farewell,
  G*   A*   G* A*
for now JJ farewell.
