CGC
He rode up on a winter day
CGC
Steam risin? off a streak face bay
FCF
Said you probably know my name
CGC
If you don?t it?s Arkansas Dave
CGC
He talked of fifteen years ago
CGC
And how he got the bay he rode
FCF
Said he killed a man in Ohio
CGC
First man he killed first horse he stole
FCF
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
CGC
He shot and left him where he laid
FCF
He said he?d never forget that winter day
CGF
He rode off on a streak faced bay
CGC
I stood up and I shook his hand
CGC
Told no one that I knew this man
FCF
Started makin? up a plan
CGC
Bout how I?d deal him his last hand
CGC
Didn?t take him long to come unwound
CGC
He jumped up and gunned two men down
FCF
Ran outside to leave the town
CGC
But ole? bay was nowhere to be found
Key Shift: D
DAD
I head out with my forty four
DAD
And when he walked back through the door
GDG
I shot till I could shoot no more
DAD
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor
GDG
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
DAD
I shot and left him where he laid
GDG
I?ll never forget that winter day
DAD
I rode off on a streak faced bay
GDG
No I?ll never forget that winter day
DAD
When I rode home on Daddy?s streak face bay
*p = pull off
h = hammer on
**First Tab...found the chords, made the actual intro tab. I always listen to George,
so I'm pretty sure it's right, just listen to the song for the rhythms and minor
changes in chord locations.
Here is a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nPwiIOUpZs . Thanks!
***The intro isn't in the beginning of the link above, but you can hear it
at 0:56 seconds. Listen close, it is pretty STRAIT forward.
