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