Key: F major•
Verse 1
F
The walls are mighty high
in Fort Worth Prison
Eb
And the cells are awful small
C
for two grown men
F
The warden slammed that
heavy door behind me
Eb
Said, allow me to introduce to you
C
F
the famous Lefty Plin
I'd read about old Lefty in the paper
Eb
How he'd robbed all the
Bb
C
banks out in the West
F
I figured he'd be bigger than a mountain
Eb
With chiseled arms and battled scars
Bb
C
F
tat tooed upon his chest
Dm
But he was small and he looked just like a
Bb
F
Well, his teeth were pearly white
C
and his hair was black as coal
Dm
But I'll never forget the day
Bb
that I shook his hand
And began my education
C
F
Eb
Bb
C
F
from the famous lefty flint
I bet I must have asked a million questions
Eb
Bb
C
He took to me, I was his only friend
F
C
F
He told me all about his hot places
Eb
And all the money that he stole
Bb
C
F
but never got to spend
He said there was an old
abandoned farmhouse
Eb
Bb
C
And in the backyard was a dried up well
F
A million dollars lay there at the bottom
Eb
Bb
We made a pact to not look back
C
F
and break out of this cell
Dm
We barely made it out
Bb
with all men on our tails
F
But the bullets were flying
C
and the shot oh left you down
Dm
With a heavy heart
Bb
I headed for that pot of gold
And on across the border
C
F
to the Gulf of Mexico
C
I'm livin' like a king in old Tampico
F
Eb
Dm
C
I'll never have to steal or run again
F
Just like the plan I built that little tavern
Eb
For the neon light says welcome
Dm
C
to the famous Lefty Plinth
F
