American Outlaws by Whiskey Myers

D
Hear the blast from a shotgun
D
 Seemed to disappear into the night
D
 Ain’t no two-bit lawman
D
 Got a chance in hell of takin’ my life
---
D
Spend most of my nights down by a campfire
D
 Light up the stars with my game
D
 Left home at only fifteen
D
 Started out to make my name
(Chorus)
C          G           D
 And we were american outlaws
C       G          D
 Ridin’ across the plain
C       G             D
 From Montana down to Mexico
C         G             D
 Tryin’ to find a better way
---
D (repeated)
I see our names on railroad posters
 Sayin’ we’re wanted all around this land
 Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers
 At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon
---
D (repeated)
Bullets spread out over the horizon
 There was no fear in our eyes
 Hear they sent 16 in to get us
 Word is that only two survived.
Chorus
D (repeated)
Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico
 Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while
 Taking that low down dirty tequila
 Them senoritas sure make us smile
---
D (repeated)
Some say we’re no longer livin
 Half a million voices took our lives
 If you hear the blast from a shotgun
 Might see us reappear into the night
Chorus
D
 Hear the blast from a shotgun
 Seemed to disappear into the night
 Ain’t no two-bit lawman
 Got a chance in hell of takin’ my life

 Left home at only fifteen

C          G           D
 And we were american outlaws
C       G          D

 From Montana down to Mexico
