American Outlaws

	  		 

AMERICAN OUTLAWS 
D 
Hear the blast from a shotgun 
D 
 Seemed to disappear into the night 
D 
 Ain 't no two-bit lawman 
D 
 Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life 

D 
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire 
D 
 Light up the stars with my game 
D 
 Left home at only fifteen 
D 
 Started out to make my name 

C          G           D 
 And we were american outlaws 
C       G          D 
 Ridin ' across the plain 
C       G             D 
 From Montana down to Mexico 
C         G             D 
 Tryin ' to find a better way
 

D (repeated) 
I see our names on railroad posters 
 Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land 
 Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers 
 At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon 

D (repeated) 
Bullets spread out over the horizon 
 There was no fear in our eyes 
 Hear they sent 16 in to get us 
 Word is that only two survived. 

Chorus 

D (repeated) 
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico 
 Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while 
 Taking that low down dirty tequila 
 Them senoritas sure make us smile 

D (repeated) 
Some say we 're no longer livin 
 Half a million voices took our lives 
 If you hear the blast from a shotgun 
 Might see us reappear into the night 

Chorus
