Get Out of Town Before Sundown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Walkin' off the highway I'd
been tryin' to catch a ride
Hungry and thirsty as a [A]bear
Not a penny in my pockets
and I'd ran out of pride
So I thought I'd try to bum
myself a [D]beer
When up stopped a well known
posse starin' down at me
A big old shiny badge pinned on his [A]vest
He said if you ain't got no money
and you ain't got no job
Boy I'm placing you under ar[D]rest
Or you can get out of town before [G]sundown
and [A]don't you never come [D]back
Take your tambourine and your [G]guitar string
and [A]move on down the [D]track
Don't like the way that you [G]comb your
hair the [A]way you drawl you [D]all
And if you're not out of town before [G]sundown
you won't [A]get out of town at [D]all
Well I hitchhiked down to Phoenix
I was following the sun
Prettiest place I think I've ever [A]seen I met
a sweet young lady but how was I to know
That pretty thing was only seven[D]teen
Then I saw the red lights gleamin' and
I heard the sirens screamin'
A sound that fills the bravest
hearts with [A]fear
And that old sheriff didn't stutter when
to me those words he uttered
Boy don't let the sun set on you [D]here
You better get out of town before sun
[G]down...
