Since the [D]day they was born.[D]

Wouldn't change if they [G]could.[G]
D                        A                    D       D [stop]
Fightin' the system like two modern day Robin Hoods. [Yee-baw]
Great song, eh? Here are some playing tips:
1. The song is actually in the key of F, but I have written it out in the key
of D. If you want to play along with your tv set, either place a capo on the
third fret, or substitute these chords:
D ---> F        G ---> Bb      A ---> C.

2. Each time the chord letter is shown represents one measure (four beats)
with one exception: there is an extra half-measure (two beats) of D between
verse 1 and 2. It always trips me up, so I omit it.
3. The bridge sounds really good with an A7, instead of A.
4. I like to play this with an alternating-bass pattern to project both the
rhythm and lead parts while playing solo. If you are not familiar with this
style, this is basically how it goes:
i. Pick the bass note for the chord (ie. the lowest note).
ii. Strum or double strum the full chord.
iii.Pick the alternate-bass note (see below).
iv. Strum or double strum the full chord.
Put the emphasis on the treble (higher) strings when strumming the full
chords. You can jazz it up a little by adding bass runs between chord changes.
5. The alternate-bass notes are basically melody notes, so they can vary with
the song, but here is a list of bass notes and common alternate-bass notes for
the seven major chords. The numbers in brackets are "string/fret."
Chord: A B C D E F G
Bass note:  A [5/O]  B [5/2]  C [5/3]  D [4/O]  E [6/O]  F [6/1]  G [6/3]
Alternate:  G [6/O]  F#[6/2]  G [6/3]  A [5/O]  B [5/2]  C [5/3]  D [4/O]
Here is the tab for D, G, and A in alternating-bass.
