[Verse]

          Em             G          
They were Doolin, Doolin-Dalton
        Em              G       G7
High or low, it was the same
     C                    Em 
Easy money, and faithless women
        A      C        G       B7
Red eye whiskey for the pain.

[Verse]
Em                           G               B7
Go down Bill Dalton, it must be God's will
Em                        G              G7
Two brothers lyin dead in Coffeeville.
C                           Em 
Two voices call to you from where they stood,
A                                    C       G
"Lay down your lawbooks now, they're no damn good."

[Verse] 
       D/F#    Em            G      B7
Better keep on movin, Doolin-Dalton
            Em            G   G7
Till your shadow sets you free.
               C                  Em
And if you're fast, and if you're lucky,
         A7             C      G
You will never see that hangin tree.

[Refrain]
         Bm             G               C      C/B
Well the towns lay out across the dusty plain
     Am                                Em 
Like graveyards filled with tombstones waitin for the names
      G                 Am      G/B     C       C/B
And a man could use his back or use his brains
    Am                                   D           B7
But some just went stir-crazy Lord cause nothin ever changed

[Verse]
          Em              G      B7
Till Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton
                Em               G    G7
He was workin cheap, just buyin time
             C                    Em
And then he laughed and said I'm goin
           A7       D               G
And so he left that peaceful life behind.
