Skip chords and lyrics
Intro 1
(D major)
Verse 1
(D major) Walkin' off the highway I'd
been tryin' to catch a ride
Hungry and thirsty as a (A major) bear
Not a penny in my pockets
and I'd ran out of pride
So I thought I'd try to bum
myself a beer (D major)
When up stopped a well known
posse starin' down at me
A big old shiny badge pinned on his vest (A major)
He said if you ain't got no money
and you ain't got no job
Boy I'm placing you under arrest (D major)
Or you can get out of town before sundown (G major)
and (A major) don't you never come back (D major)
Take your tambourine and your (G major) guitar string
and (A major) move on down the track (D major)
Don't like the way that you (G major) comb your
hair the (A major) way you drawl you all (D major)
And if you're not out of town before sundown (G major)
you won't (A major) get out of town at all (D major)
Well I hitchhiked down to Phoenix
I was following the sun
Prettiest place I think I've ever seen (A major) I met
a sweet young lady but how was I to know
That pretty thing was only seventeen (D major)
Then I saw the red lights gleamin' and
I heard the sirens screamin'
A sound that fills the bravest
hearts with fear (A major)
And that old sheriff didn't stutter when
to me those words he uttered
Boy don't let the sun set on you here (D major)
You better get out of town before sun
(G major) down...
