C majorC        G+G   C majorC
He rode up on a winter day
C majorC         G+G      C majorC
Steam risin’ off a streak face bay
FF         C majorC    FF
Said you probably know my name
C majorC         G+G    C majorC
If you don’t it’s Arkansas Dave

C majorC          G+G   C majorC
He talked of fifteen years ago
C majorC         G+G   C majorC
And how he got the bay he rode
FF            C majorC FF
Said he killed a man in Ohio
   C majorC          G+G    C majorC
First man he killed first horse he stole

     FF       C majorC    FF
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
  C majorC         G+G    C majorC
He shot and left him where he laid
       FF         C majorC   FF
He said he’d never forget that winter day
C majorC        G+G      FF
He rode off on a streak faced bay

C majorC        G+G     C majorC
I stood up and I shook his hand
C majorC         G+G     C majorC
Told no one that I knew this man
FF       C majorC  FF
Started makin’ up a plan
C majorC           G+G    C majorC
Bout how I’d deal him his last hand


C majorC          G+G    C majorC
Didn’t take him long to come unwound
C majorC            G+G    C majorC
He jumped up and gunned two men down
FF       C majorC     FF
Ran outside to leave the town
C majorC            G+G   C majorC
But ole’ bay was nowhere to be found

Key Shift: D MajorD

 D MajorD        A augmentedA   D MajorD
I head out with my forty four
  D MajorD          A augmentedA      D MajorD
And when he walked back through the door
 G+G         D MajorD    G+G
I shot till I could shoot no more
     D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor

      G+G          D MajorD    G+G
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
 D MajorD         A augmentedA    D MajorD
I shot and left him where he laid
   G+G         D MajorD   G+G
I’ll never forget that winter day
  D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD
I rode off on a streak faced bay
    G+G         D MajorD   G+G
No I’ll never forget that winter day
    D MajorD          A augmentedA      D MajorD
When I rode home on Daddy’s streak face bay

*p = pull off
 h = hammer on



**First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George,
so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor
changes in chord locations.
Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks!

***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it
