E                 Asus2   E
I'm leaving this place behind
E                              Asus2 E
And I'm heading out on the road tonight
E               Asus2    E
I'm off for the hinterlands
E                               Asus2 E
Way up North where the tall trees stand
E           Asus2     E
Before I commence my ride
E                     Asus2 E
I'm asking Lily to be my bride
E               Asus2   E
I know there's another man
E                        Asus2 E
But he ain't gonna delay my plan


B
I know she's gonna be my wife
       C#m
Gonna fall in love I'm gonna live my life with her
E   Asus2 E
E   Asus2 E
B
You know I bet he's not so tough
        C#m
Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love


E                 Asus2    E
I've come forth to find Big Jim
E                          Asus2 E
Well here I am and I guess you're him
E              Asus2     E
I see how you got your name
E                               Asus2 E
You're tall as hell and broad as a train
E              Asus2         E
They say you a hard-born man
E                                  Asus2 E
And the baddest guy in the whole wide land
E           Asus2         E
Well I'm not afraid to fight
E                                Asus2 E
Let's step outside and I'll show you why

B
I'm humming like a revved up truck
       C#m
Never mind the odds I'm gonna try my luck with her
E   Asus2 E
E   Asus2 E
B
Just tell me when you've had enough
      C#m
I'm dangerous cause I'm a fool for love


E                 Asus2      E
You know you don't hit half bad
E                                  Asus2 E
But I'm gonna lay you in the ground tonight
E                 Asus2        E
Just wait until I catch my breath
E                            Asus2 E
Gonna send you off to an early death

E             Asus2     E
I lie in the drifting snow
E                       Asus2 E
Bleeding out as it covers me over
E               Asus2         E
If spring comes before I'm found
E                                  Asus2 E
Just throw my bones in a hole in the ground
E               Asus2    E
I lost friends along my way
E                       Asus2 E
I knew I'd meet them eventually
E          Asus2       E
No I'm not afraid to die
E                     Asus2 E
Just mad I left that Jim alive

B
I know I should've never looked back
         C#m
But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that
E    Asus2 E
E    Asus2 E
B
I never should've called his bluff
       C#m
I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love

E                Asus2     E
I stare into the endless sky
E                         Asus2 E
Let the sorry tale of my life go by
E                Asus2      E
I drift into the great unknown
E                          Asus2 E
I really don't know where I'm going
