Living In The West
E A
John Wesley Harding shot a man for snoring
B7 E
Killed him in the bed right where he lay
A
He took a snort of whisky and went back to his sleeping
B7 E
Rode out before they found him the next day
E A
Now the brothers Frank and Jesse no one could be more fearsome
B7 E
They robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw gangs
A
The civil war was over but still they fought for Dixie
B7 E
And legend has their last name to be James
A B7 E C#m
Living in the west must have been the best
A B7
Must have been the greatest times of all
A B7 E C#m
Me I lived in the east and I was bored to say the least
A B7
Cause I never saw them sons of guns in barrooms starting brawls
SOLO- C#m A E B E
E A
Little William Bonney Billy the Kid they called him
B7 E
Had to use a six gun to survive
A
He bit the dust at twenty-one but he left a reputation
B7 E
A notch for every year he was alive
Repeat CHORUS
E A
And now the frontier days are over for Billy and John and Jesse
B7 E
And a thousand other bad guys of their day
A
But they still live on in stories and I hope they live forever
B7 E
And to sum it up here is all that I wanna say
Repeat CHORUS
