Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is recorded originally in Eb tuning (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb),
namely a half step down from the standard tuning which is E A D G B E.
The chords are tabbed by ear from the original recording. If your guitar
has standard tuning and you attempt to play along with the song the
chords won’t fit. So you need to tune your guitar to Eb tuning first.

[Intro]
Em Em Em D (x4)
[Verse 1]
Am D
A whisky bottle comforts me
G C
And tells me not to cry
Am D
While a full moon says a prayer for me
C E
I try to close my eyes
Am D
But the night's there to remind me
G D C
Of the guns and the early graves
Am D
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
C D G
To sing an outlaw's serenade
[Chorus]
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C C/B Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Dm G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
For the things that I have done
Dm G C
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
[Intro repeat]
Em Em Em D (x4)
[Verse 2]
Am D
The desert's been a friend to me
G C
It covers me by night
Am D
And a snakebite's not my enemy
C E
But it taught me how to fight
Am D
All this fame don't bring you freedom
G D C
Though it wears a thin disguise
Am D
When an outlaw is just a man to me
C D G
And a man has to die
[Chorus]
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C C/B Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Dm G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
For the things that I have done
Dm G C
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
[Break]
Am C
nanananaa (x3)
G
And I hope someone will pray for me
G
When it's my turn to die... pray for me!
[Chorus]
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C C/B Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Dm G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
