G         D C G

[Verse]
G
Held up in a shotgun shack 

not goin? nowhere soon
D                         
Sheriff and his fifty men 
C         G      C  G
under a July moon
G
Where you gonna run to now, 

you got nowhere to go
D                                     
Sheriff?s got ya pinned way down, 
     C              G    C G
he's comin? for your soul
G
Won?t be much longer now 

cause the stars are fillin? the sky 
D                
We?re gonna kick open the ol? front door, 
      C               G    C G
we?ll let the bullets fly.

[Chorus]
D               C       D             C
Well I may be goin? down, I may be headed out,
D                     C                                G
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call

[Verse]
G
Flames stab the darkness, 

lightin? up the sky 
D                          
Lead flyin? through the midnight air 
   C            G    C G
as men begin to die
G            
Life falls around me 

as a gun bucks in my hand
   D
If life is like a desert, 
       C             G     C  G
hell's just a grain of sand
G
Horse race with the hoof beat 

along the riverside
D                                      
Cloud of dust raisin? up behind 
      C               G       C  G
as we cross the great divide

[Chorus]
D               C       D            C
Well I may be goin? down, I may be headed out,
D                     C                                G
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call

[Bridge]
G
That?s the life of an outlaw

Livin? by the gun
D
There?s a little bit of outlaw 
  C            G
Inside of everyone

[Chorus]
D               C       D             C
Well I may be goin? down, I may be headed out,
D                     C                                  G
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
