Life of an Outlaw
The Great Divide
Intro: G D C G (hopefully you can hear the rhythm)
Verse:
G
Held up in a shotgun shack
not goin?? nowhere soon
D
Sheriff and his fifty men
CGG
under a July moon
G
Where you gonna run to now,
you got nowhere to go
D
Sheriff??s got ya pinned way down,
CGCG
he's comin?? for your soul
G
Won??t be much longer now
cause the stars are fillin?? the sky
D
We??re gonna kick open the ol?? front door,
CGCG
we??ll let the bullets fly.
Chorus:
DCDC
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
DCG
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
Verse:
G
Flames stab the darkness,
lightin?? up the sky
D
Lead flyin?? through the midnight air
CGG
as men begin to die
G
Life falls around me
as a gun bucks in my hand
D
If life is like a desert,
CGG
hell's just a grain of sand
G
Horse race with the hoof beat
along the riverside
D
Cloud of dust raisin?? up behind
CGG
as we cross the great divide
Chorus:
DCDC
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
DCG
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
Bridge:
G
That??s the life of an outlaw
Livin?? by the gun
D
There??s a little bit of outlaw
CG
Inside of everyone
Chorus
DCDC
Well I may be goin?? down, I may be headed out,
DCG
Got my back against a wall just like a final curtain call
