Am G Dm F Am G 1. In a land the Spanish once had called the Northern Mystery Dm F Where rivers run and disappear And the Mustang still lives free Am G By the Devil's wash and the coyote hole In the wild Owyee Range Dm F Am Somewhere in the sage tonight The wind calls out his name Aye Aye Aye Am G 2. Come gather round me buckaroos And a story I will tell Dm F Bout the fugitive Claude Dallas Who just broke out of jail Am G You might think this tale is history From before the West was won Dm F Am But the events that I'll describe took place in 1981 Am G 3. He was born out in Virginia Left home when school was through Dm F In the deserts of Nevada He became a buckaroo Am G He learned the ways of cattle He learned to sit a horse Dm F Am And he always packed a pistol And he practiced deadly force
Chorus 1
C G Then Claude he became a trapper He dreamed of the bygone days Dm F He studied bobcat logic In the wild and silent ways C G In the bloody runs near paradise In the monitors down south Dm F Am Trapping cats and coyotes Living hand and mouth Aye Aye Aye 4. Am G Then Claude took to living all alone Out many miles from town Dm F A friend Jim Stevens brought supplies And he stayed to hang around Am G That day two wardens Pogue and Elms Drove in to check Claude out Dm F Am They were seeking violations And to see what Claude's about 5. Am G Now Claude he had hung some venison He had a bobcat pelt or two Dm F Pogue claimed they were out of season He said "Dallas you're all thru." Am G But Dallas would not leave his camp He refused to go to town Dm F Am As the wind howled through the bull camp They stared each other down 6. Am G It's hard to say what happened next Perhaps we'll never know Dm F They were going to take Claude into jail And he vowed he'd never go Am G Jim Stevens heard the gunfire And when he turned around Dm F Am Bill Pogue was fallin' backwards, Conley Elms he fell face down Aye Aye Aye
Chorus 2
C G Jim Stevens walked on over There was a gun near Bill Pogue's hand Dm F It?s hard to say who?d drawn his first But Claude had made his stand C G Claude said, ?I?m justified Jim? They were gonna gun me down, Dm And a man's got a right to hang some meat. F Am When he?s livin? this far from town. 7. Am G It took 18 men and 15 months To finally run Claude down Dm F In the sage outside paradise They drove him to the ground Am G Convicted up in Idaho Manslaughter by decree Dm F Am Thirty years at maximum But soon Claude would break free
Chorus 3
C G There's two sides to this story There may be no right or wrong Dm There may be no right or wrong The lawmen and the renegade F C Have graced a thousand songs The story is an old one G Dm Conclusion's hard to draw But Claude's out in the sage tonight F Am He may be the last outlaw Aye Aye Aye [Repeat 1st verse] (2/3 speed) Am G 1.In a land the Spanish once had called the Northern Mystery Dm F Where rivers run and disappear And the Mustang still lives free Am G By the Devil's wash and the coyote hole In the wild Owyee Range Dm F Am Somewhere in the sage tonight The wind calls out his name Aye Aye Aye
