INTRO: G G D A A

D                    Bm              G                  D
Left Laredo with the sun in my eyes, broken heart and a bloodshot sky

G                      D              Em              A
Been running since she left me alone, way up north in San Antone

D                   Bm             G                        D
Days get long but I don't get far, spent last night in some low life bar

G                        D            Em                     A           Asus4 A
Found her memory in some Mezcal haze, lost my mind while the guitar plays


                  G                 A
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west

        D                      G
        Find a way to lay this hurt to rest

        D                Em
        Live it up 'till I live her down

        A               G      G      D       A

D                      Bm                  G                   D
Left her standing in a tear-stained dress, cursed the day that I confessed

G                 D           Em                    A
Wayward sins of a mortal man, watched the ring come off her hand

D               Bm             G                     D
Looking back on all I've lost, price I've paid ain't worth the cost

G                  D                       Em                  A        Asus4 A
I'll run this road until it ends and maybe find my way back to her again

                  G                 A
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west

        D                      G
        Find a way to lay this hurt to rest

        D                Em
        Live it up 'till I live her down

        A               G      G      D      D      G      G       D       A

                  G                 A
CHORUS: I'm gonna carry this burden way out west

        D                      G
        Find a way to lay this hurt to rest

        D                Em
        Live it up 'till I live her down

        A               G      G      D

        D               G      G      D

Here are some lead parts I've managed to figure out from the original
recording. Perhaps some parts are not 100% exactly like they're supposed
to be but they're pretty damn close anyway...

(Intro)
             G               D           A                       D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----T---333-2-----------333-2-----------------------------------------------|
---------A---------2-4-------------2--------H-P------------------------------|
-------------B---------------------------4-----4-5-4-2------H--2--------H--2-|
-0-------------------------------------------------------------0-2---/4----0-|
-2---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(After the first chorus)
             G              D            A           D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----T------------------333-2------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-A------------------------2---------H-P--------------------------------------|
-----B-----------5--------------4------4-5-4-2-------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------2-5-----------------------------------H-P---5-----------------------|
---------333--------------------------------------5-7-5----------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(Solo)
             G              D               G            D
--------------------------------------------------------------------------10-|
--9--T------------------333-2-----------333-2--------333-2-------------------|
7-10--10---------------------------------------------------------------------|
-A------------------------2---------------2-4----------2------------7-9------|
-----B-----------5--------------4----------------------------4-------7-------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------2-5-----------------------------------------------------------------|
---------333-----------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

...and then down to A

(Ending)
             G              D
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----T------------------333-2------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-A------------------------2--------------------------------------------------|
-----B-----------5--------------4--------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------2-5-----------------------------------------------------------------|
---------333-----------------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|


Well, like I said, there may be some mistakes but hopefully you got the general
idea...
