Well, first off props to those who helped me get this together...
|littlestein09| I borrowed his layout, though I modified it a bit.
|TheOmegaKitten| Had guitar Solo 1 nailed.
|dudewithaguitar77(Youtube)| Pro-ness on Riffs and Solo 2.
Alrighty, this is seemingly correct. The one thing that is difficult to put
down is the strum pattern. It's simple enough though, you just have to
listen to the song and play along to get the feel. Well hope you enjoy.
If you see any errors, or wana tell me how awsome I am, shoot me an email
or something.

Verse 1:
[Em]Well this is how it starts two l[Am]overs in the dark
[B]On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
[Em]Six guns by the side and bullets[Am] ?round their waist

[Em]The safe was nearly empty and th[Am]ey were nearly free
[B]But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
[Em]And he screamed at the top of hi[Am]s lungs ?they?re on the run!
[B]It?s the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!?
Chorus 1:
[G]I said I wish that we could [Am]stay here
But I fear our time has [G]come
Oh we can ride out in[Am] the darkness
Chasing the risin[G]g sun
We gotta pack our bags this [Am]instant
We?re heading southbound to t[G]he next town
And if we arrive there[Am] so safely
Baby you ca[Am-Am]n lay me[G-G-G] down[Am]
Lay me [G]do[G]wn[G] [Am]

Lay me [G]do[G]wn[G] [Am]
Verse 2:
[Em]Well it?s the story of the two a[Am]lways on the move
[B]They got nothing left to lose ?cept their guns and they wounds
[Em]Now they?re crossing borders she[Am]riff?s posse on their tail
 
 B (Pause---------->)

They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Guitar Riff 2: (Starts at ?They drank??, Ends at ??then he said?.)

[Em]They drank up all the whiskey an[Am]d they partied every night
[B]Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
[Em]So they chased the endless summe[Am]r though it came with a price
[B]They wouldn?t stop running ?til they found a paradise
[Em]But the Sheriff finally found ?e[Am]m with his eyes seeing red
[B]So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
[Em]They were finally free to find a[Am] place to lay their head
[B]And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:
Chorus 2:
[G]I said I wish that we could [Am]stay here
But I fear our time has [G]come
Oh we can ride out in[Am] the darkness
Chasing the risin[G]g sun

Chorus 2:
