Intro: Em D (x4)
Verse 1:
Am D
A whisky bottle comforts me
G C
And tells me not to cry
Am D
While a full moon says a prayer for me
C E
I try to close my eyes
Verse 2:
Am D
But the night's there to remind me
G D C
Of the guns and the early graves
Am D
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
C D G
To sing an outlaw's serenade
Chorus:
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C C/B Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Dm G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
For the things that I have done
Dm G C
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Em D (x4)
Verse 3:
The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight
Verse 4:
All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die
Chorus:
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Am C
nanananaa (x3)
And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me
Chorus:
Dm G
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
C C/B Am
When you're livin' on the run
Dm G Am G5 A5 G5 A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Dm G
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
C C/B Am
For the things that I have done
Dm G C
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' for the young
Am C
nanananaa (x8++)
