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
