Chords with lyrics

C majorC          FF       C majorC
Cowboys and outlaws and long shiny rails

C majorC               D7D7      G7G7
Was the background setting of grandpappy's tales

C majorC         FF       C majorC
Places like Tucson and old Santa Fe

C majorC        G7G7      C majorC
Cheyenne Wyomin' during Rodeo Days


C majorC            FF       C majorC
I'd sit there for hours perched on his knee

C majorC             D7D7      G7G7
To ride just as far as his memory could see

C majorC             FF     C majorC
With Billy The Kid and the one Jesse James

C majorC            G7G7       C majorC
Rail ridin' outlaws that robbed lots of trains

    FF           C majorC
Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid

C majorC              D7D7       G7G7
The one Jesse James and some things that we did

 FF            C majorC      A minorAm
I knew them well son just like my own name

G7G7                C majorC
Billy and Jesse me and we robbed trains


C majorC             FF     C majorC
But a boy don't stay seven all of his life

C majorC               D7D7       G7G7
And he starts to wonder what's true and what's lies

C majorC               FF        C majorC
Still respect makes him listen to an old man's refrain

C majorC                G7G7        C majorC
Bout a wild bunch of cowboys and some make believe trains

    FF           C majorC
Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid

C majorC              D7D7       G7G7
The one Jesse James and some things that we did

 FF            C majorC      A minorAm
I knew them well son just like my own name

G7G7                C majorC
Billy and Jesse me and we robbed trains


C majorC             FF        C majorC
The funeral was family as funerals should be

C majorC             D7D7       G7G7
Except for two cowboys no one else could see

C majorC                FF       C majorC
And then they were gone just as quick as they came

C majorC          G7G7       C majorC
Billy and Jesse had robbed one more train


    FF           C majorC
Let me tell you a story 'bout Billy The Kid

C majorC              D7D7       G7G7
The one Jesse James and some things that we did

 FF            C majorC      A minorAm
I knew them well son just like my own name

G7G7                C majorC
Billy and Jesse me and we robbed trains
