Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
    E minorEm
Well I turned and shut my eyes

As you let the gravel fly
    E minorEm     D MajorD          E minorEm
When I looked up you had cleared the driveway
     E minorEm
You and your big cloud of dust

All your chrome and all your rust
G+G       D MajorD         E minorEm
Beggin' to lay scattered on the highway

Verse 2:
    E minorEm
Well I have not forgotten when we may as well be kin
    E minorEm     D MajorD      E minorEm
Raising hell from here to Bryan County
    E minorEm
Wishing I could let you in

Give you shelter from the wind
G+G         D MajorD         E minorEm
But that hurricane ain't coming down around me


Chorus:
    G+G         D MajorD       A minorAm          E minorEm
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
Curse your locomotive off the rail
       G+G          D MajorD        A minorAm      E minorEm
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
      E minorEm      D MajorD   E minorEm
Well the devil's into fine detail


Verse 3:
    E minorEm
Well I nearly took your lead

With your pistol and your speed
     E minorEm    D MajorD      E minorEm
Shoot to kill and plan to be forgiven
    E minorEm
But in between the mill

And whatever deer I kill
G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
Truth be told I barely make a living

Chorus:
    G+G         D MajorD       A minorAm          E minorEm
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
Curse your locomotive off the rail
       G+G          D MajorD        A minorAm      E minorEm
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
      E minorEm      D MajorD   E minorEm
Well the devil's into fine detail


Bridge:
  G+G      E MajorE       A minorAm   G+G
And you're somewhere in the Winding Stair
G+G                 E minorEm
Thinking you still got a trick or two
      A minorAm         G+G       D MajorD    E minorEm
And you're planning out your fight in the lantern light
   A minorAm                E minorEm
But I don't see this going well for you
   A minorAm                E minorEm
No I don't see this going well for you


Instrumental:


Verse 4:
     E minorEm
Well the sheriff came last night

Is everything alright?
    E minorEm      D MajorD    E minorEm
Ask for any help that I can give
   E minorEm
No we had a falling out

Well then what's this all about
G+G            D MajorD        E minorEm
They said the man who's shot is gonna live


Chorus:
    G+G         D MajorD       A minorAm          E minorEm
Oh well you can curse your fiddle till it breaks down at the binding
G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
Curse your locomotive off the rail
       G+G          D MajorD        A minorAm      E minorEm
And all that trouble you've been looking for is easy in the finding
      E minorEm      D MajorD   E minorEm
Well the devil's into fine detail
      E minorEm      D MajorD   E minorEm
Well the devil's into fine detail
