[Verse]
D#m F#
They were Doolin, Doolin-Dalton
D#m F# F#7
High or low, it was the same
B D#m
Easy money, and faithless women
G# B F# A#7
Red eye whiskey for the pain.
[Verse]
D#m F# A#7
Go down Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
D#m F# F#7
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville.
B D#m
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
G# B F#
"Lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good."
[Verse]
C#/F D#m F# A#7
Better keep on movin, Doolin-Dalton
D#m F# F#7
Till your shadow sets you free.
B D#m
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky,
G#7 B F#
You will never see that hangin tree.
[Refrain]
A#m F# B B/A#
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
G#m D#m
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
F# G#m F#/A# B B/A#
And a man could use his back or use his brains
G#m C# A#7
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed
[Verse]
D#m F# A#7
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
D#m F# F#7
He was workin cheap, just buyin time
B D#m
And then he laughed and said I'm goin
G#7 C# F#
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
