American Outlaws chords by Whiskey Myers

Chords with lyrics

The picking riffs are below the lyrics.
For most of the versus you are just strumming D MajorD with the
riffs in the background; works well with a looper pedal.

AMERICAN OUTLAWS
D MajorD
Hear the blast from a shotgun
D MajorD
 Seemed to disappear into the night
D MajorD
 Ain?t no two-bit lawman
D MajorD
 Got a chance in hell of takin? my life

D MajorD
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
D MajorD
 Light up the stars with my game
D MajorD
 Left home at only fifteen
D MajorD
 Started out to make my name

(Chorus)
C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
 And we were american outlaws
C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
 Ridin? across the plain
C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
 From Montana down to Mexico
C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
 Tryin? to find a better way

D MajorD (repeated)
I see our names on railroad posters
 Sayin? we?re wanted all around this land
 Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers
 At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon

D MajorD (repeated)
Bullets spread out over the horizon
 There was no fear in our eyes
 Hear they sent 16 in to get us
 Word is that only two survived.

Chorus

D MajorD (repeated)
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
 Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
 Taking that low down dirty tequila
 Them senoritas sure make us smile

D MajorD (repeated)
Some say we?re no longer livin
 Half a million voices took our lives
 If you hear the blast from a shotgun
 Might see us reappear into the night

Chorus

D MajorD
 Hear the blast from a shotgun
 Seemed to disappear into the night
 Ain?t no two-bit lawman
 Got a chance in hell of takin? my life

D MajorD
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
 Light up the stars with my game
 Left home at only fifteen
 Started out to make my name

(Chorus)
C majorC     G+G      D MajorD
 And we were american outlaws
C majorC    G+G     D MajorD
 Ridin? across the plain
C majorC    G+G       D MajorD
 From Montana down to Mexico
C majorC     G+G       D MajorD
 Tryin? to find a better way

D MajorD
I see our names on railroad posters
 Sayin? we?re wanted all around this land
 Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers
 At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon

D MajorD
Bullets spread out over the horizon
 There was no fear in our eyes
 Hear they sent 16 in to get us
 Word is that only two survived.

Chorus

D MajorD
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
 Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
 Taking that low down dirty tequila
 Them senoritas sure make us smile

D MajorD
Some say we?re no longer livin
 Half a million voices took our lives
 If you hear the blast from a shotgun
 Might see us reappear into the night
