AMERICAN OUTLAWS
D
Hear the blast from a shotgun
D
Seemed to disappear into the night
D
Ain 't no two-bit lawman
D
Got a chance in hell of takin ' my life
D
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
D
Light up the stars with my game
D
Left home at only fifteen
D
Started out to make my name
C G D
And we were american outlaws
C G D
Ridin ' across the plain
C G D
From Montana down to Mexico
C G D
Tryin ' to find a better way
D (repeated)
I see our names on railroad posters
Sayin ' we 're wanted all around this land
Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers
At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon
D (repeated)
Bullets spread out over the horizon
There was no fear in our eyes
Hear they sent 16 in to get us
Word is that only two survived.
Chorus
D (repeated)
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
Taking that low down dirty tequila
Them senoritas sure make us smile
D (repeated)
Some say we 're no longer livin
Half a million voices took our lives
If you hear the blast from a shotgun
Might see us reappear into the night
Chorus
D

Left home at only fifteen
Started out to make my name
