Life of an Outlaw
The Great Divide
Intro: G D C G (hopefully you can hear the rhythm)
Verse:
[G]Held up in a shotgun shack
not goin' nowhere soon
[D]Sheriff and his fifty men
[C]under a Ju[G]ly moon[C][G]
[G]Where you gonna run to now,
you got nowhere to go
[D]Sheriff's got ya pinned way down,
he's [C]comin' for yo[G]ur so[C]ul[G]
[G]Won't be much longer now
cause the stars are fillin' the sky
[D]We're gonna kick open the ol' front door,
we'l[C]l let the bullet[G]s fly[C].[G]
Chorus:
[D]Well I may be go[C]in' do[D]wn, I may be h[C]eaded out,
[D]Got my back against a [C]wall just like a final curtain ca[G]ll
Verse:
[G]Flames stab the darkness,
lightin' up the sky
[D]Lead flyin' through the midnight air
as [C]men begin to [G]die[C][G]
[G]Life falls around me
as a gun bucks in my hand
If [D]life is like a desert,
hell's [C]just a grain o[G]f sand[C][G]
[G]Horse race with the hoof beat
along the riverside
[D]Cloud of dust raisin' up behind
as we [C]cross the great [G]divide[C][G]
Chorus:
[D]Well I may be go[C]in' do[D]wn, I may be [C]headed out,
[D]Got my back against a [C]wall just like a final curtain ca[G]ll
Bridge:
[G]That's the life of an outlaw
Livin' by the gun
[D]There's a little bit of outlaw
In[C]side of every[G]one
Chorus
[D]Well I may be go[C]in' do[D]wn, I may be h[C]eaded out,
[D]Got my back against a [C]wall just like a final curtain call[G]
