(Verse 1)

G        Am    C  C/B         Am
We were ridin' through the flatlands
G        Am                         C
We were searchin' for two prisoners
     C/B        Am  G
Who just broke jail
Am
Tall one and a lean one
 C       C/B     Am
Rode a chestnut stallion
G        Am  
And the word was from the main man
 G              Am
He was mean as hell


(Chorus)

Dm        
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               Am
A word called danger
    Dm                        
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     Am
And never trust a stranger


(Verse 2)

         C       E               Am
And he's always called a better man
G
We chased him to the border
         C  C/B    Am
All the way to El Paso
     Am
The ride was long the ride was hard
          C     C/B             Am
But the sheriff said "we can't let him go"
G         Am
He said "let me tell you somethin'"
          C       C/B   Am
"I been trackin' for a long time"
      Am
They never trust a stranger 
          G                 Am
And they take care of their own


(Chorus)

   Dm
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               Am
A word called danger
    Dm
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     Am
And never trust a stranger


(Verse 3)

         C       E               Am
And he's always called a better man
G  Am
Today's man is an outlaw
         C   C/B       Am
On that long road to freedom
 G
You work him hard you take his pride
      C      C/B     Am
And then you try to cheat him
 Am                                 C   C/B   Am
Then one day you figure out it's a long,long story
G  Am                    G                Am
An outlaw is a man that takes care of his own


(Chorus)

   Dm            
An outlaw is a man who never understands
               Am
A word called danger
    Dm                         
He learns to shoot and ride as a child
                     Am
And never trust a stranger


         C       E               Am
And he's always called a better man
 C     C/B       Am    C C/B Am
Never trust a stranger
 C     C/B       Am    C C/B Am
Never trust a stranger
 C     C/B       Am
Never trust a stranger
