The Ballad Of Arkansas Dave Rudebaugh

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]My daddy was an outlaw
Mom died giving birth to me
They both left me all alone when
I was on bended knee
If you don't like my story I suggest
you turn the page
I don't need no preachin'
I ain't got no soul to save

[Verse 2]
[Am]My name is Arkansas Dave
Rudebaugh
And this here's Tennessee Jack
Don't you give us any lip now boy
Or [E]today will be your last
[Am]When the bank was dry we said goodbye
and walked out to the street
When a [E]cloud of bullets came
tumbling down
And took [Am]Tennessee to his knees

[Verse 3]
I just [Am]stood there and watched
him bleeding
Like a fool out in the rain
[E]Didn't have time to think as I jumped through
the bank[Am]s front window pane
Grabbed the teller in the blink of an eye
and put a Colt up to his head
Said [E]careful son don't you try to run
or to[Am]morrow you'll wake up dead

[Verse 4]
[Dm][Chorus]
I've got [E]to fly just like [Am]an eagle[Dm]
Free like [E]a bird on [Am]the wind
[Dm]Hell fire and [E]brimstone are
[Am]comin' down on [Dm]me
Mister [E]I was born of sin
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Sat down in the corner and
I rolled a little home grown
Said if I'm gonna die today I
sure as [E]hell ain't goin' alone
So I [Am]ran out the bank shootin'
I was two for two at first
[E]Then I felt a painful sound as a
[Am]bullet tore my [Dm]shirt

[Verse 6]
[Chor[E]us]

[Verse 7]
[Am]I[Dm]
[E][Am][Dm]
[E][Am][Dm]
[E][Am]
crawled back
to the alleyway where I knew my horse was tied
[E]And that's where all[Am] the[E] legends say
Arkansas Dave Rude[G]baugh died
But I [Am]was in a place so far from
there in a [E]time so long ago
In the [Dm]arms of a pretty little senorita
on the [E]Gulf of Mexico

[Outro 1]
[Chorus]
[E][Dm][E][Am]
[Dm][E]
[Am][Dm]
[E][Am][Dm]
[E][Am]
