Verse 1:

C                G     C
He rode up on a winter day

C                   G           C
Steam rising off a streak-faced bay

F                   C       F
Said, you probably know my name

C                  G        C
If you don't it's Arkansas Dave

    C                 G     C
He talked of fifteen years ago

     C              G      C
And how he got the bay he rode

          F              C       F
Said, he killed a man in Oh - i - o

       C                    G        C
First man he killed, first horse he stole


Chorus 1:

          F             C        F
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave

    C                 G        C
He shot and left him where he lay

            F                 C      F
Said, he'd never forget that winter day

C                 G           C
He rode off on a streak-faced bay


Verse 4:

C                 G         C
I stood up and I shook his hand

     C              G        C
Told no one that I knew this man

  F              C     F
Started thinking of a plan

       C               G         C
'Bout how I'd deal him his last hand


Verse 5:

        C                G    C
Didn't take him long to come unwound

C                        G       C
He jumped up and gunned two men down

 F              C         F
Ran outside to leave the town

         C              G      C
But ol' bay was nowhere to be found

Verse 6:

   D               A     D
I hid out with my forty-four

     D                   A           D
And when he walked back through the door

   G                 D        G
I shot till I could shoot no more

           D            A       D
And Dave Rudabaugh fell to the floor


Chorus 2:

            G                   D       G
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave

   D                 A        D
I shot and left him where he lay

      G                 D      G
I'll never forget that winter day

D                  A            D
I rode off on the streak faced bay

         G                 D     G
No I'll never forget that winter day

D                       A            D
I rode home on daddy's streak faced bay
