Capo on the 2nd fret. Verse 1: B I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks E I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took F# You can read a different story in a lot of different books E But even then you won't really know F# B How it was a long time ago Verse 2: B Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men E In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then F# They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in E I was born with a fire down below F# B And i learned to fly a long time ago Verse 3: B Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain E About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane F# Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane E I think you already know F# B I told you that a long time ago Verse 4:(a tone higher) C# Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought F# I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought Ab We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught F# They tried to run us off but Willie's slow Ab C# I quit running a long time ago Thanks to David M.
