I counldn't find anything else out there, so I tabbed this by ear, it should be pretty close.
Tuning: Standard 


Dm                      C                               F      Bb
One more drink 'fore he split town, pulled up in a rose pink Cadillac
Dm                               C                      F         Bb
He was singin' with the top down girl from the north, Dylan and Johnny Cash
Dm                               C                                 F                  Bb
He won the car on a card game listenin' to The Boss, he keeps his clothes in a gunney sack
            F                                   Bb                  C           Dm
She said, "Tell you what sailor, if you take me outta here, I'll do anything that you ask,
F                                 Bb                      C                F          Bb-F
'Cause I don't wanna die like the people down here but I feel that I'm fading fast."

C                      Dm                      F                 Bb
He looked over to her chestnut hair, he said "I don't believe in love."
C                                     Bb                       F             Bb
But he knew good and well she was the only girl there, so he figured it was close enough

Dm                                     C                         F                            Bb
And they hopped in the car, rolled the windows down far,and they headed through the desert plains
Dm                                     C                          F             Bb
And she didn't even mind when they crossed the state line and the sky opened up with rain
Dm                                     C                            F                      Bb
And they went three states 'fore they even spoke a word, he leaned over just to ask her name
            F                                   Bb                  C           Dm
She said, "Take me to the 61 highway, sailor, and you can call me Queen Jane,
            F                                   Bb                  C           F       Bb-F
'Cause the only thing I stole from the town was a crown that I took from a beauty queen."

C                      Dm                      F                 Bb
And he looked over to her deep green eyes, knew that she was just as cold as him
C                      Dm                      F                 Bb
So he went to the trunk, grabbed the pistol from inside, and told Janey of his plan

Dm                                     C                            F                     Bb
And they went to the store she put the gas in the car, he came out running with a case of beer
Dm                                 C                     F                  Bb
And he jumped in the back with the money in the sack and Janey she took the wheel
Dm                                 C                     F                  Bb
And they ran off in a blaze in a sweet summer haze, to the bullets of the cashier

            F                                   Bb                  C           Dm
"You keep your head down sailor 'cause I might need ya' later, just holler if you can hear,
            F                                   Bb       C        F             Bb-F
'Cause I'm gonna need a man, not a farmer girl tan and a cadillac souvenir."

C                      Dm                      F                 Bb
And they camped out by the railroad bridge, and they made love all night,
C                      Dm                      F                 Bb    Bb-Bb-Bb
Watched the sun come up over Mercury Ridge, from a hilltop outta sight.

Dm                                 C                            F                     Bb
They hit five more banks and their small-town safes and they knew that they could get out fast
Dm                                 C                            F                     Bb
Had the time of their life but they had to have a talk, 'cause they knew that it couldn't last
Dm                                     C                        F                     Bb
They made friends with the man at the Mexico border, and they left him with a bag of cash

            F                                   Bb                  C           Dm  
She said, "I tell you what, sailor, I don't care about that paper but I'm happy that we passed,
            F                                   Bb                  C           F      Bb-F
'Cause I'm feeling pretty tired and I'm carrying a child and we both need a rest."

    C                      Dm                      F                                 Bb
And they settled down to a house near the water, where they would live to be old and grey
    C                      Dm                      F                                   Bb
And many years later and the kids are all older, and they tell 'em 'bout the good ole' days.
