Hoo-woo-

Em        Am
Well this is how it starts two lovers in the dark
B
On the run from the one that they call Sheriff Sparks
Em        Am
Six guns by the side and bullets 'round their waist
B
Two shots to the sky signal sound for the chase
Em        Am
The safe was nearly empty and they were nearly free
B
But was seen by the wood eye of the mean Billy Greene
Em        Am
And he screamed at the top of his lungs “they're on the run!
B
It's the two outsiders grab yer holsters and yer guns!”

G                           Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
                        G
But I fear our time has come
   Am
Oh we can ride out in the darkness
    G
Chasing the rising sun
                            Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
      G
We're heading southbound to the next town
   Am
And if we arrive there so safely
     B      G G GAm
Baby you can lay me down
       G G GAm
Lay me down
       G G GAm
Lay me down
       G G GAm
Lay me down

Em        Am
Well it's the story of the two always on the move
B
They got nothing left to lose 'cept their guns and they wounds
Em        Am
Now they're crossing borders sheriff's posse on their tail
B
They rather die together than be stuck up in a cell
Em        Am
They drank up all the whiskey and they partied every night
B
Like it could be the last the bounty said to shoot on sight
Em        Am
So they chased the endless summer though it came with a price
B
They wouldn't stop running 'til they found a paradise
Em        Am
But the Sheriff finally found 'em with his eyes seeing red
B
So the lovers had to shoot him down and fill him full of lead
Em        Am
They were finally free to find a place to lay their head
B
And when they finally did he looked at her and then he said:

G                           Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
                        G
But I fear our time has come
    Am
Oh we can walk down to the ocean
    G
Chasing the rising sun
                            Am
We gotta pack our bags this instant
      G
No more running from town to town
   Am
And if we arrive there so safely

G G G        Am
It's the afternoon and we got nothing left to do
G G G                            Am
So wipe the dirt off or take yer shirt off 
G G G                                   Am
And we should go hit the cantina we got work off 
G G G                             Am
I said it's hot outside let me go swimming in your eyes
G G G                                    Am

G G G                                    Am
I could never ask for nothing better than this 
G
It's just tequila and the beach that's why it's salty when we kiss

G                           Am
I said I wish that we could stay here
                        G
But I feel our time has come

We gotta pack our bags this instant
      G
No more running from town to town
   Am
And if we arrive there so safely
