[Intro 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Death be my [D]mistress,
guns be [Em]my wife[C]
Breath is my witness and
[G]roads are my [Em]life[G][Bm]
Just give my [D]fu [Em]ture's clean [C]as a knife
Far [Em]on the way from L.A.
[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]
The sun heats the saddle,
[Am]sand in my hair[Em][C]
Looking [G]for water and
there's sweat [Bm]everywhere
Know that I'm [Em]nearer I
smell damp [C]air
I ain't tasted cof[Em]fee for days
[A]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
When the leaves [C]are down I'll
be southward [D]bound
Hunters hunt the out[Em]sider.[Am][Em]
When the wind grows [D]cold,
[C]when the sun grows old[D],
Nothing holds [Em]the out

[Interlude 1]

[C][Em][C][A]
[D]

[Verse 4]
Just killed a man in [Am]a town
called [C]Nightfall
Damned [G]if I can't
remember it [Bm]all
My hand it was [Em]shaking
but his talk it was [C]tall
I paid for the funeral [A]crew
[D]And it seems like I never[Am]
reach [C]Mexico
They're heading me off every
[G]place that I [Bm]go
I'm sick of the fact that I've
[Em]got to lay low[C]
What else can an outsider [A]do

[Verse 5]
[Em]I know they're near to me,
[C]I don't have to see
[D]Just let me be the outsid[Em]er
They ain't far behind,
[C]they're always on my [D]mind
They won't find the out[Em]sider[C]
The out[Em]sider

[Interlude 2]
[C][Em][C][Em]
[C][A][D]
[Am][C][G]
[Bm][Em][C][A]
[Em]

[Verse 6]
When the leaves [C]are down I'll
be southward [D]bound
Hunter's haunt the out[Em]sider.
When the wind grows cold,
[C]when the sun gro[D]ws old,
Nothing holds the out[Em]sider[C]
The out[Em]sider. [C]The[Em] outsider.
