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