[Intro]
F#m A F#m A A7 D F#m B D A E
[Verse 1]
F#m A
They were duelin', Doolin' Dalton,
F#m A A7
High or low, it was the same
D F#m
Easy money, and faithless women
B D A C#m
Red eye whiskey for the pain
[Verse 2]
F#m A C#m
Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
F#m A A7
Two brothers lyin' dead in Coffeyville
D F#m
Two voices call to you from where they stood
B D A
Lay down your law books now, they're no damn good
[Verse 3]
C#m F#m A
Better keep on movin', Doolin' Dalton
C#m F#m A A7
'Till your shadow sets you free
D F#m
If you're fast and if you're lucky
B D A
You will never see that hangin' tree.
[Verse 4]
C#m A D Dsus2
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plains
Bm F#m
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin' for the names
A Em7 A7 D Dsus2
And a man could use his back or use his brains
Bm E C#m
But some just went stir crazy, Lord 'cause nothin' ever changed
[Verse 5]
F#m A
'Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
C#m F#m A A7
He was workin' cheap, just bidin' time
D F#m
Then he laughed and said, "I'm goin',"
B E A E F#m
And so he left that peaceful life behi--ii--nd
