I saw BBig Bear Henry, B7Two Turtle Jim
ERolling into town, they was E7ridin' on the rims
BSold their tires to B7buy themselves
A Dbcouple of cases of GbbeerGb7  
BThey got there a little toB7o late
So they Ebroke down the door and they E7shot up the place
Now Beverybody's gone Gbcrazy 'round Bhere
[Chorus]
And it's rBestless nights and B7endless fights
A Ehundred miles an hour and E7no headlights
BFiddles and accordions, Dbtear stained steel GbguitarGb7s
It's a Btar-paper shack, B7whiskey and smack
ETwo guns left on a five rifle rack
SomeBbody 'round here's gonna Gbget killed and that's for Bsure
[Verse]
BSet up the barricade B7on the line
The Ecops came down and E7bullets were flying
BHeld 'em up and then we B7held 'em off
'Till Dbjust afore GbdawnGb7  
BThey got Bear and B7then they got Jim
And Ethen we got a E7couple of them
And if we Bmake the trade
They Gbsay they'll call it Boff
