Intro
Bm  F#m  Bm  F#m

     Bm             F#m        Bm            F#m
When I woke up this morning, I found myself alone
  G                   A                 Bm            A
I turned to touch her hair, but she was gone, she was gone
    F#m             Bm              F#m                    Bm
And there beside my pillow were her tears from the night before
    G                 A                 Bm  Bmsus2  Bm
she said give up your guns and face the law

  Bm               F#m         Bm               F#m
I robbed a bank in Tampa and I thought I had it made
        G                   A                Bm           A
But the hounds picked up my trail within the Glades, so I ran
      F#m              Bm             F#m             Bm
And I stumbled on this cabin, and she came to me once more
    G                 A                 Bm  Bmsus2  Bm
She said give up your guns and face the law

G       A     D          C       G     F#m
I don't wanna leave her, I don’t wanna die
C               G                     C                F#m
Deep within the cold, cold grave with no one ‘round to cry
G     A      D       C        G       F#m
But I got my pistol, now it’s time to choose
C                G                C               F#m // stop
Shootin' here or hanging there in either way I’ll loose
 
    Bm              F#m             Bm                   F#m
And now I'm in this cabin, where my own true love should be
  G                  A                 Bm        A
Instead there lies a note she wrote to me and it says
           F#m               Bm              F#m              Bm
Though you can't live by the bullet, but you sure instead can die
   G                 A                 Bm          A
My love give up your guns and say good bye... good bye
        F#m            Bm             F#m           Bm
And the sheriff now is calling with a shotgun at my door
G // stop           A // stop        Bm  Bm  F#m  Bm  F#m
Son... give up your gun and face the law . . . . .

Bm  F#m  Bm  F#m  G  A  Bm

    Practise the change: Bm ↔ A

    Great first song
