The picking riffs are below the lyrics. For most of the versus you are just strumming D with the riffs in the background; works well with a looper pedal. AMERICAN OUTLAWS D Hear the blast from a shotgun D Seemed to disappear into the night D Ain’t no two-bit lawman D Got a chance in hell of takin’ my life D Spend most of my nights down by a campfire D Light up the stars with my game D Left home at only fifteen D Started out to make my name (Chorus) C G D And we were american outlaws C G D Ridin’ across the plain C G D From Montana down to Mexico C G D Tryin’ to find a better way D (repeated) I see our names on railroad posters Sayin’ we’re wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon D (repeated) Bullets spread out over the horizon There was no fear in our eyes Hear they sent 16 in to get us Word is that only two survived. Chorus D (repeated) Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while Taking that low down dirty tequila Them senoritas sure make us smile D (repeated) Some say we’re no longer livin Half a million voices took our lives If you hear the blast from a shotgun Might see us reappear into the night Chorus D Hear the blast from a shotgun Seemed to disappear into the night Ain’t no two-bit lawman Got a chance in hell of takin’ my life D Spend most of my nights down by a campfire Light up the stars with my game Left home at only fifteen Started out to make my name (Chorus) C G D And we were american outlaws C G D Ridin’ across the plain C G D From Montana down to Mexico C G D Tryin’ to find a better way D I see our names on railroad posters Sayin’ we’re wanted all around this land Got ambushed by 16 enemy soldiers At the creek just north of Choctaw Canyon D Bullets spread out over the horizon There was no fear in our eyes Hear they sent 16 in to get us Word is that only two survived. Chorus D Headed down south to hangouts in Mexico Gonna to let the smoke clear for a while Taking that low down dirty tequila Them senoritas sure make us smile D Some say we’re no longer livin Half a million voices took our lives If you hear the blast from a shotgun Might see us reappear into the night Chorus ________________________________________________tabs Intro e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------3---------------------------| G-------------------------------------------2---------------------------| D-5p3p0-3p0-0-------------------------------0---------------------------| A-------------3p0-0-3p0-0-3p2p0-------------0---------------------------| D------------------------------3'---0-------0---------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-3-----3-----------------3---------------------------------------------| G-2-----2-----------------2---------------------------------------------| D-0-----0-----------------0---------------------------------------------| A-------------------------0---------------------------------------------| D---------3'--------0-----0---------------------------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-3-----3-----------------3---------------------------------------------| G-2-----2-----------------2---------------------------------------------| D-0-----0-----------------0---------------------------------------------| A-------------------------0---------------------------------------------| D---------3'---3'---0-----0---------------------------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-3-----3-----------------3---------------------------------------------| G-2-----2-----------------2---------------------------------------------| D-0-----0-----------------0---------------------------------------------| A-------------------------0---------------------------------------------| D---------3'---3'---0-----0---------------------------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-3-----3---------------------------------------------------------------| G-2-----2---------------------------------------------------------------| D-0-----0---------------------------------------------------------------| A-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------3'---3'-------------------------------------------------------| Main part e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G----------------2---------------------------------------------2--------| D---------0------0-----0---3'---0-----0-----0-----3'---0-------0--------| A-----0h3----------0h3---x--------------0h3-----x----------0h3----------| D-0---------------------------------------------------------------------| e-----------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------| G-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------0------0-----0---3'---0-----0-----0-----3'---0----------------| A-----0h3----------0h3---x--------------0h3-----x--------3-2-0----------| D-0------------------------------------------------------------3'-------|
