Em Out on the range D Under a low hanging a bloody moon C There rides a band of outlaws B7 And demons where danger looms Em Through ghost towns and graveyards D They're scattered across Western lands C But they keep on riding B7 Torches burn brighter in the Devil's handsVerse 1:
Em Mama give this warning D To sons who dare to roam C In the land of Wild West B7 There's a reason the Ranger's Lone Em Outlaws are fast D But justice can't give a truce C The last gift a sheriff gives B7 Is a breathless hang-mans nooseEm The sheriff's gonna get them D But today wont be that day C Un-der the cover of darkness B7 They loot and slip away Em Hell-fire, and the howling wind, D It's the life that they chose C What's a bullet to a dead man? B7 To the grave the secret goesVerse 2:
Em Mama give this warning D To sons who dare to roam C In the land of Wild West B7 There's a reason the Ranger's Lone Em Outlaws are fast D But justice can't give a truce C The last gift a sheriff gives B7 Is a breathless hang-mans nooseEm Blind horses must comply D As they ride through bitter winds C Their days are numbered B7 Like demons from within Em With blood on their bridles D And fire in their veins C A Western legends last sunset B7 Is where the devil reinsVerse 3:
Em Mama give this warning D To sons who dare to roam C In the land of Wild West B7 There's a reason the Ranger's Lone Em Outlaws are fast D But justice can't give a truce C The last gift a sheriff gives B7 Is a breathless hang-mans nooseEm Through ghost towns and graveyards D They're scattered 'cross Western lands C Where they met a man B7 Who was born with faster hands Em Life on the run D Comsuned by money and fame C Bil-ly the kid died B7 Trying to break the devils chainsVerse 4:
Em Mama give this warning D To sons who dare to roam C In the land of Wild West B7 There's a reason the Ranger's Lone Em Outlaws are fast D But justice can't give a truce C The last gift a sheriff gives B7 Is a breathless hang-mans noose Outro Em The outlaws of the shadowed plains D Have demons of a different breed C If you listen closely B7 Em Your can hear it in the high-noon breeze
