 C                            G      C
He rode up on a winter day
C                             G            C
Steam risin’ off a streak face bay
F    
Said you probably know my name
C                              G        C
If you don’t it’s Arkansas Dave
C                         G             C
He talked of fifteen years ago
C                              G         C
And how he got the bay he rode
F
He said he killed a man in Ohio
C                                      G            C
First man he killed first horse he stole
F
It was a long road for Arkansas Dave
C                                  G           C
He shot and left him where he laid
F
He said he’d never forget that winter day
C                            G                C
He rode off on a streak faced bay
C                           G            C
I stood up and I shook his hand
C                              G           C
Told no one that I knew this man
F
Started makin’ up a plan
C                                     G          C
Bout how I’d deal him his last hand
C                                       G            C
Didn’t take him long to come unwound
C                                          G             C
He jumped up and gunned two men down
F
Ran outside to leave the town
C                                            G       C
But ole’ bay was nowhere to be found
D                               A      D
I head out with my forty four
D                                           A                D 
And when he walked back through the door
G
I shot till I could shoot no more
D                                    A              D
And Dave Rudabough fell to the floor
G
It was the end of the road for Arkansas Dave
D                               A           D
I shot and left him where he laid
G
I’ll never forget that winter day
D                          A               D
I rode off on a streak faced bay
G
No I’ll never forget that winter day
D                                                   A                D
When I rode home on Daddy’s streak face bay
