Dm/A

I came down from the country

Dm/A

On a long and lonesome road

I was running from some trouble

Dm/A

Over horses they say I stole

G/A Dm/A

Never fired a shot in anger

There is no blood on my hands

I got a law man 20 miles behind me

G/A Dm/A

Says I am a wanted man

[Verse 2]

Dm/A

Gonna ride on up the river

Dm/A

Till my trail is washed away

Dm/A

And if fate finds me tomorrow

Dm/A

Well that wont slow me down today

G/A Dm/A

He is there on the ridge behind me

G/A Dm/A

And I know this hidden land

G/A Dm/A

And dreams that remind me

G/A Dm/A

Ill always be a wanted man

[Instrumental]

Dm/A Am Dm/A

From the wild New England ranges

With my older brother William

To the shoot-out in Uralla

Every mile he shadowed me

In the bark of the willow trees

From this wild Kentucky plain

G/A Dm/A

And I ride on forever knowing

And I will die a wanted man
