[Verse 1]
If you'll [G]gather
'round me, children,
A [C]story I will [G]tell
'Bout [C]Pretty Boy Floyd, an [D]outlaw,
Ok[C]lahoma knew him [G]well.
It was in the town of Shawnee,
A [C]Saturday after[G]noon,
His wife be[C]side him in his [D]wagon
As [C]into town they [G]rode.

[Verse 2]
There a [G]deputy sheriff approached him
In a [C]manner rather [G]rude,
[C]Vulgar words of an[D]ger,
An' his [C]wife she over[G]heard.

[Verse 3]
Pretty Boy grabbed a log [G]chain,
And the [C]deputy [G]grabbed his [C]gun;
In the fight that fol[D]lowed
He [C]laid that deputy [G]down.

[Verse 4]
Then he took [G]to the trees and timber
To live [C]a life [G]of shame;
Every [C]crime in Oklaho[D]ma
Was [C]added [G]to his name.
[C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
[C]But [D]a m[C]any[G] a starving farmer
The same [C]old story [G]told
How the out[C]law paid their [D]mortgage
And [C]saved their little [G]homes.

[Verse 6]
Others [G]tell you 'bout a stranger
That [C]come to [G]beg a meal,
Un[C]derneath his nap[D]kin
Left a [C]thousand dollar [G]bill.

[Verse 7]
It was in [G]Oklahoma City,
It was [C]on a Christmas [G]Day,
There was a whole [C]car
load of gro[D]ceries
Come with a [C]note to [G]say:

[Verse 8]
Well, you say that [G]I'm an outlaw,
You say [C]that I'm [G]a thief.
[C]Here's a Christmas [D]dinner
For the fam[C]ilies on re[G]lief.

[Verse 9]
Yes, as through [G]this world
I've wandered
I've seen [C]lots [G]of funny men;
Some will rob [C]you with a six- [D]gun,
And some [C]with a fountain [G]pen.

[Verse 10]
And as [G]through your life you travel,
Yes, as through [C]your life you [G]roam,
You won't [C]never see an out[D]law
Drive a [C]family [G]from their [C]hom[G]e.[C][G]
