Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]See[G]ms[D][A][G]
like [D]10 years [G]ago
Though today [D]my mind [G]is slow
Me and [D]Mickey Craig were
running west from [A]Idaho
Robbed [D]a bank to get some [G]bread

[Verse 2]
Seems [D]like 15 men lay [G]dead
In [D]a path that led [A]us straight
to Santa [G]Rosa[D]
Now and then ol' Mick[G]'d say
Boy [D]at home you should [G]of stayed

[Verse 3]
Than to fol[D]low me and learn
the life of [A]looking back
But [D]he'd spit and slap [G]his side
Just [D]to see if he's [G]alive
Then [D]he'd sing his banjo [A]song
of Santa [G]Rosa[A]

[Verse 4]
He said [A]whoa- oh,
singing [Bb]oh S[G]anta R[D]osa
[A]Whoa- oh, high and [G]low- oh- oo
Then one [D]day, [Eb]sang ol' [G]Craig,
I'll be [D]free to go my [G]way

[Verse 5]
And [D]be standing by [A]the bay at Santa
[G]Rosa[A][Eb][Ab][Eb][Ab][Eb][Bb]
[Ab][D]
Now one time late at night
Mickey lit no fire light
'Cause he feared the posse close
behind might [A]flush us out

[Verse 6]
But [D]he picked a bit [Eb]'fore sleep
[G]To the tune o[D]f Cripple Cree[G]k
He was [D]murdered by [A]a man
from Santa [G]Rosa
An[D]d h[A]e sang whoa- oh,
singing [Bb]oh S[G]anta R[D]osa

[Verse 7]
[A]Whoa- oh, [Bb]singing oh Santa [D]Rosa
[Bb]Whoa- [A]oh, hig[Bb]h and low[Ab]- o- [G]o[G]
[D]'Til I come once [G]again with my
[D]banjo pickin' [G]friend
We'll be [D]oh high [A]and low in Santa [G]Rosa
[D]

[Outro 1]
