This song was finished by Waylon's son's band. It was released on the album, Waylon Forever.
This is my first Tab. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's pretty close. I use barre
chords with E formation.
[Gm]I'm for law and[Eb] order,[Bb] the way th[F]at it should be.
[Gm]This song's about [Eb]the night they spent[Bb] protecting you fro[F]m me.
[Gm]Someone called [Eb]us outlaws [Bb]in some old ma[F]gazine
[Gm]New York sent [Eb]a posse down like I[Bb] ain't never seen.[F]
[Gm]Don't you think this o[Eb]utlaw shit[Bb] has gotten out of [F]hand?
[Gm]What started out [Eb]to be a joke, [Bb]the law don't unders[F]tand.
[Gm]Was it singing through my nos[Eb]e that got me[Bb] busted by the m[F]an?
[Gm]This ain't it, [Eb]this outlaw shit[Bb] has gotten out of ha[F]nd,
Out of hand.[Eb][Bb][F]
[Gm]We were wrapped up in the m[Eb]usic, [Bb]that's why we never [F]saw,
[Gm]The cars pull up,[Eb] the boys get out[Bb] and the room fill up with [F]law.
[Gm]They came pounding through the [Eb]back door in [Bb]the middle of my s[F]ong.
[Gm]They got me for p[Eb]ossession [Bb]of something that was long g[F]one.
[Gm]Don't you think this o[Eb]utlaw shit[Bb] has gotten out of [F]hand?
[Gm]What started out [Eb]to be a joke, [Bb]the law don't unders[F]tand.
[Gm]Was it singing through my nos[Eb]e that got me[Bb] busted by the m[F]an?
[Gm]This ain't it, [Eb]this outlaw shit[Bb] has gotten out of ha[F]nd,
Out of hand.[Eb][Bb][F]
Repeat Gm, Eb, Bb, F
