[Intro]
G G/F# Em

G Em

G G7 C

Em A C G D/F#

[Verse]
Em G
They were Doolin, Doolin-Dalton
Em G G7
High or low, it was the same
C Em
Easy money, and faithless women
A C G B7
Red eye whiskey for the pain.
[Verse]
Em G B7
Go down Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
Em G G7
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville.
C Em
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
A C G
"Lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good."
[Verse]
D/F# Em G B7
Better keep on movin, Doolin-Dalton
Em G G7
Till your shadow sets you free.
C Em
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky,
A7 C G
You will never see that hangin tree.
[Chorus]
Bm G C C/B
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
Am Em
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
G Am G/B C C/B
And a man could use his back or use his brains
Am D B7
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed
[Verse]
Em G B7
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
Em G G7
He was workin cheap, just buyin time
C Em
And then he laughed and said I'm goin
A7 D G
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
[Outro]
G D/F# Em G C G/B Am7 D9 E
