Verse 1
(A minor) 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
(A minor) My name is Arkansas Dave
Rudebaugh
And this here's Tennessee Jack
Don't you give us any lip now boy
Or (E major) today will be your last
(A minor) When the bank was dry we said goodbye
and walked out to the street
When a (E major) cloud of bullets came
tumbling down
And took (A minor) Tennessee to his knees

Verse 3
I just (A minor) stood there and watched
him bleeding
Like a fool out in the rain
(E major) Didn't have time to think as I jumped through
the bank (A minor) s front window pane
Grabbed the teller in the blink of an eye
and put a Colt up to his head
Said (E major) careful son don't you try to run
or to (A minor) morrow you'll wake up dead
Verse 4
(D minor) [Chorus]
I've got to fly (E major) just like an eagle (A minor) (D minor)
Free like a bird (E major) on the wind (A minor)
(D minor) Hell fire and brimstone (E major) are
(A minor) comin' down on me (D minor)
Mister I was (E major) born of sin
(A minor)
Verse 5
(A minor) Sat down in the corner and
I rolled a little home grown
Said if I'm gonna die today I
sure as (E major) hell ain't goin' alone
So I (A minor) ran out the bank shootin'
I was two for two at first
(E major) Then I felt a painful sound as a
(A minor) bullet tore my shirt (D minor)
Verse 6
[Chor (E major) us]
Verse 7
I (A minor) (D minor)
(E major) (A minor) (D minor)
(E major) (A minor) (D minor)
(E major) (A minor)
crawled back
to the alleyway where I knew my horse was tied
(E major) And that's where (A minor) all (E major) the legends say
Arkansas Dave Rude (G major) baugh died
But I (A minor) was in a place so far from
there in a (E major) time so long ago
In the (D minor) arms of a pretty little senorita
on the (E major) Gulf of Mexico
Outro 1
[Chorus]
(E major) (D minor) (E major) (A minor)
(D minor) (E major)
(A minor) (D minor)
(E major) (A minor) (D minor)
(E major) (A minor)
