A            D  
Big Kid Josie rode away  
D   F#m/C#   Bm7    A  
In the sunset covered sky  
E                  A  
A lynching mob had strung his friend up  
B                D  
Right before his eyes  
A                   D  
He didn't know what they'd both done  
F#m                   D  
He sure as hell would end up hung  
F#m       G#m      A                D  
Or have to notch the sheriff's gun

If he didn't move on

Get out of here  

A                   D  
The sheriff followed Josie's trail

From Kansas City West  
E                  A  
He said he'd put a bullet right  
B                D  
Through poor old Josie's chest  
A                D  
But Josie wasn't like the rest  
F#m                   D  
He don't like bullet holes in his vest  
F#m       G#m      A                D  
In fact he'd do his very best

Don't want any arrest

But couldn't see a trace  
C			F  
Josie found a nice warm place  
Am			F  
But then the sheriff solved the case

B            E  
Big Kid Josie had  
A                    D  
Then Josie drew his gun real fast  
F#m                  D  
Gave the sheriff one big blast  
F#m      G#m     A  
And Josie runs the town at last
