[G]Ho-oh-oo-woah-oh-oh-oo-woah-no- oo

[Em ]Well this is [Am]how it starts two lovers in the dark
[B]On the run from the one that they call SheRiff Sparks
[Em ]Six guns by t[Am]the side and bullets ‘round their waist
[B]Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
[Em ]The safe was [Am]nearly empty and they were nearly free
[B]But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
[Em ]And he scream[Am]screamed at the top of his lungs “they’re on the run!
[B]It’s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!”
 
[G]I said I wish that we could [Am]stay here
But I fear our time has [G]come
[ ]Oh we [Am]can ride out in the darkness
[ ]Chasin[G]Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this [Am]instant
[ ]We’re head[G]heading southbound to the next town
[ ]And if[Am]if we arrive there so safely
[ ]Baby y[B]you can [G]la[G]lay [G Am]me down
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
 
[Em ]Well it’s the[Am]the story of the two always on the move
[B]They got nothing left to lose ‘cept their guns and they wounds
[Em ]Now they’re c[Am]crossing borders sheRiff’s posse on their tail
[B]They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
[Em ]They drank up[Am]up all the whiskey and they partied every night
[B]Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
[Em ]So they chase[Am]chased the endless summer though it came with a price
[B]They wouldn’t stop running ‘til they found a paradise
[Em ]But the SheRi[Am]SheRiff finally found ‘em with his eyes seeing red
[B]So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
[Em ]They were fin[Am]finally free to find a place to lay their head
[B]And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
 
[G]I said I wish that we could [Am]stay here
But I fear our time has [G]come
[ ]Oh we c[Am]can walk down to the ocean
[ ]Chasin[G]Chasing the rising sun
We gotta pack our bags this [Am]instant
[ ]No more r[G]running from town to town
[ ]And if[Am]if we arrive there so safely
[ ]Baby y[B]you can [G]la[G]lay [G Am]me down
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
Lay me [G]do[G]down[G Am]wn
 
[G]We[G]ll[G] y[ Am]ou’re my green eyed girl and I’ve been running round with you
[G]It[G]’s[G] t[ ]he afterno[Am]on and we got nothing left to do
[G]So[G]So w[G]wipe the dirt off or take yer [Am]shirt off
[G]An[G]And [G]we should go hit the cantina we got [Am]work off
[G]I [G]sa[G]said it’s hot outside let me go [Am]swimming in your eyes
[G]We[G]We’v[G]’ve been running for a while why’oncha [Am]lay down make me smile
[G]I [G]co[G]could never ask for nothing better than[Am]than this
[G]It’s just tequila and the beach that’s why it’s salty when we kiss
 
[G]I said I wish that we could [Am]stay here
But I feel our time has [G]come
[ ]Oh we c[Am]can walk down to the ocean
[ ]Chasin[G]Chasing the rising sun
