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