[Verse 1]
[D]We can share the wom[Em]en,

[D]Keep on rollin', my [Am]old budd[C]y
You're [G]moving much too [D]slow
[A][G][D]

[Chorus 1]
[D]I just jumped the watchman
Right outside the fence
Took his rings, four bucks in change
Ain't that Heaven sent?
[E]Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon
Burns my eyes to see
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon

Might as well be me

[C]We used to pla[Am]y for sil[G]ver,
now we play for [D]life
[C]And one's for spo[Am]rt and one's for[G] blood
at the point of a [D]knife
[C]And now the die[Am] is sha[G]ken,
now the die must [D]fall
[C]There ain't a win[Am]ner in [G]the game
[D]He don't go home with all[G]
Not with [C]all[F]

[Chorus 2]
[D]Gotta go to Tulsa
First train we can ride
Gotta settle one old score
One small point of pride
[E]There ain't a place a man can hide, Shannon
We'll keep him from the sun
Ain't a bed can give us rest, now

You keep us on the run
