DWell I think times are changing momma
EmBreak my spirit and kill my pride
F#mShe might be the lawman's daughter
EmBut I'm gonna make that girl my bride
DI said, "Son I'm sorry but that can't happen"
EmOur kind just don't mix with them
F#mYou might love the lawman's daughter
EmBut your family's filled with wanted men
I said, D"Oh, how bad could it Bmbe?"
For a Glaw filled girl to love a man like Ame
DChasing ten car trains and whiskey dames don't Bmmean a thing
GJust as long as I got her with Ame
DWell you know that sheriffs been looking for you
EmHe knows y'all been robbing trains
F#mIf he sees you with his daughter
EmHe won't stop 'til he sees you hang
DWell Christian hearts don't feed no families
EmGuns and trains mean moneys good
F#mTell that sheriffs that's been looking for me
EmHang me up, I wish you would
I said, D"Oh, how bad could it Bmbe?"
For a Glaw filled girl to love a man like Ame
DChasing ten car trains and whiskey dames don't Bmmean a thing
GJust as long as I got her with Ame
B, A, G, F#m(2x)
I said, D"Oh, how bad could it Bmbe?"
For a Glaw filled girl to love a man like Ame
DChasing ten car trains and whiskey dames don't Bmmean a thing
GJust as long as I got her with Ame
