Wanted Man

     F
Blood runnin' down my vest,
F
Twenty in the posse,
G7                               C
And they're never gonna let me rest.
F               Bb
Till I became a wanted man,
F               C
I never owned a gun,
Dm                          G
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
C                    F
And I'm always on the run

F                    Bb
I killed poor Jed Bryant
C                   F
In a bad Laredo fight,
F                  Bb
Killed him with my bare hands
         C                 F
For the girl I loved that night.
Bb                          F
Jed's brother's out to get me,
Bb                    F
He's comin' with a gang
Bb                     F               Bb      C      F
I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em watch me hang

N.C.
Bullet in my shoulder,
     F
Blood runnin' down my vest,
F
Twenty in the posse,
G7                               C
And they're never gonna let me rest.
F               Bb
Till I became a wanted man,
F               C
I never owned a gun,
Dm                          G
But now they hunt me like a mountain cat,
C                    F
And I'm always on the run

F                       Bb
She had spangles on her wedding dress
        C               F
She had laughter in her voice,
    F                            Bb
And when they tried to put their hands on her
    C               F
My heart left me no choice.
    Bb             F
Now was she really worth it?
    Bb             F
I guess I'll never know,
    Bb              F                      Bb     C      F
She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below.
