[Verse 1]
[C]To [Am]the r[F]ic[C]h man's bright lodges[Am]
I [F]ride in this [C]wind
On my good horse, I [Am]call you
My [D]shiny black [G]Bess

[Verse 2]
To the [C]playhouse of [Am]fortune
[F]To take the bright [C]silver
And gold you [G]have [Am]taken
From [F]somebody [C]else

[Verse 3]
And [C]as we go rid[Am]ing
In the [F]damp foggy [C]midnight
You snort, my [G]good [Am]pony
And you [D]give me your be[G]st

[Verse 4]
For you [C]know and I [Am]know
Good [F]horse 'mongst the [C]rich ones
How oftimes we [Am]go there
An [F]unwelcome [C]guest
[G][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
[C]
I never took [Am]food
From the [F]widows and [C]orphans
And never [Am]a hardworking [D]man I op[G]pressed

[Verse 6]
So [C]take your [G]pace [Am]easy
For [F]home soon like [C]lightning
We soon [G]will be [Am]riding
My [F]shiny [Dm]black [C]Bess

[Verse 7]
No [C]fat rich man's [Am]pony
[F]Can ever overtake [C]you
And there's not [G]a r[Am]ider
From the [D]east to [G]the west

[Verse 8]
Could [C]hold [G]you [Am]a light
In this [F]dark mist and [C]midnight
When the potbellied thieves
[Am]Chase the unwe[F]lcome [Dm]gues[C]t

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 9]
I don't know, good [Am]horse
As we [F]trot in this [C]dark here
That robbing the [Am]rich
Is for [D]worse or for [G]best

[Verse 10]
They [C]take it [G]by [Am]stealing
[F]And lying and [C]gambling
And I take it [Am]my way
My [F]shiny [Dm]Black [C]Bess

[Verse 11]
I [C]treat horses [Am]good
And [F]I'm friendly [C]to strangers
I ride and your [Am]running
Makes my [D]guns talk the [G]best

[Verse 12]
And the [C]rangers and [Am]deputies
Are [F]hired by the [C]rich man
To catch me an[Am]d hang me
My [F]shining [Dm]black [C]Bess

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][F][C]
[Am][D][G][C][Am][F][C][Am]
[F][C]

[Verse 13]
Yes, they'll [C]catch me [Am]napping one [F]day
And they'll [C]kill me
And then I'll be [Am]gone
But that [D]won't be my [G]end

[Verse 14]
For my [C]guns and [G]my [Am]saddle
Will [F]always be [C]filled
By [G]unwelcome [Am]travelers
And [F]other [C]brave men

[Verse 15]
And [C]they'll take the [Am]money
And [F]spread it out [C]equal
Just like the Bib[Am]le
And [D]the prophets sug[G]gest

[Verse 16]
But [C]men that go [Am]riding
To [F]help these poor [C]workers
The rich will cut [Am]down
Like an [F]unwel[G]come [C]guest
