Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Shane (G major) and Dixie they
were two-bit crooks
crooks
They wanted to be famous
like you read in books
Shane had the brain and
Dxie had the looks for glory (D major)
As a bank (G major) robber Shane really
hadn't got a clue
He'd end up likely at the
end of a noose
Which was fine by Shane if the papers
could use the story

Verse 2
(C major) [CHORUS]
Fame and love, (G major) (D major) (C major) fame and love
(G major) Fame and love (D major) will (G major) (D major) never die (G major)
Shane said to Dixie,
we're getting nowhere
But I've a fine idea if you love me,
swear
We'll be household names if we only dare,
forever (D major)
Here's (G major) two bullets in my old carbine
One is yours and the other is mine
Then (D major) we'll be (C major) happy (G major) till the (D major)
(C major) end of (G major) time (D major) together (G major)
CHORUS
She screams, (E minor) she (G major) swears
She tears (E minor) her hair (G major)
Saying, Shane (E minor) this time (A major)
You've lost (F major) your mind (D major)
(G major) Shane took aim with the 16-bore
And Dixie lay dying down
there on the floor
Shane was shaken but his purpose
was more inspired (D major)
Shane (G major) said, Lord what have I done
But this victory is only halfway won
Then he put the barrel underneath his tongue and fired (D major)

Verse 3
[CHORUS] They (G major)
found the bodies when the
neighbours complained
Shane was all over the walls like paint
Dixie looked bad but her heart
beat faint but surely (D major)
(G major) Well they saved her life,
they were just in time
And she turned her back on a life of crime
And she married the man who
came to type out her story (D major)
(G major) O (D major) (G major) the news of the screws
most generously gave
The money helped to pay
for Shane's new grave
And it looked so fine till
the vandals sprayed it over (D major)
Time went (G major) by and the weeds grew high
And hid Shane's grave
from the curious eye
And maybe that's why we forget those lines he told
(D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major)
(D major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(G major) (D major) her (G major)
