G Am+ C C/B Am+
We were ridin' through the flatlands
G Am+ C
We were searchin' for two prisoners
C/B Am+ G
Who just broke jail
Am
Tall one and a lean one
C C/B Am
Rode a chestnut stallion
G Am
And the word was from the main man
G Am
He was mean as hell
Dm
A outlaw is a man who never understands
Am
A word called danger
Dm
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Am
And never trust a stranger
C E Am+
And he's always called a better man
G
We chased him to the border
C C/B Am
All the way to El Paso
Am
The ride was long the ride was hard
C C/B Am
But the sheriff said "we can't let him go"
G Am
He said "let me tell you somethin'"
C C/B Am
"I been trackin' for a long time"
Am
They never trust a stranger
G Am
And they take care of their own
Dm
An outlaw is a man who never understands
Am
A word called danger
Dm
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Am
And never trust a stranger
C E Am
And he's always called a better man
G Am
Today's man is an outlaw
C C/B Am
On that long road to freedom
G
You work him hard you take his pride
C C/B Am
And then you try to cheat him
Am C C/B Am
Then one day you figure out it's a long,long story
G Am G Am
An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own
Dm
An outlaw is a man who never understands
Am
A word called danger
Dm
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
Am
And never trust a stranger
C E Am
And he's always called a better man
C C/B Am+ C C/B Am+
Never trust a stranger
C C/B Am+ C C/B Am+
Never trust a stranger
C C/B (Am)
Never trust a stranger
