[Verse 1]
GD* G
At last I have called up with you and you're a sight to see:
GD* G
could this really be my outlaw lover JJ Sneed?
CC
Could a woman with a painted face and pretty sweet disguise
GD* G* F* G
turn your heart against me with her evil cunning eyes, her evil cunning eyes.
[Verse 2]
GD* G
JJ, it's been you and me right from the very start,
GD* G
and ever job we ever pulled I'd always done my part.
CC
We'd really stick together until the bitter end
GD* G*
and it was my understanding we were whole lots more than friends,
F* G
a whole lot more than friends.
[Verse 3]
GD* G
And it was me that kept you on when nights were dark and cold,
GD* G
but I guess I didn't look like much in these old ragged clothes.
CC
But you said it didn't matter cause you love me that a way,
GD* G*
you said that no one else could ever steal your heart away,
F* G N.C. A A
steal your heart away.
[Verse 4] (Key Change to Db)
AE* A
Do you recall the Union Bank we robbed in Franklin Town,
AE* A
as we made our getaway the sheriff gunned you down.
DD
And I doctored up your bullet wounds and nursed you while you sit,
AE* A*
but now you have betrayed me, is that the thanks I get,
G* A
is that the thanks I get?
[Verse 5]
AE* A
Oh, yeah, JJ, I'm thinking now of how we'd all begun,
AE* A
of all the times we've robbed and killed with our trust wordy gun.
DD
Why we stood off a fuss, it was JJ just you and I,
AE* A*
but now you have betrayed me and for that you're gonna die,
G* A
yeah, for that you're gonna die.
[Verse 6]
AE* A
The good old days are over as we stand here in the rain,
AE* A
JJ, I'm gonna shoot you now, I hope you'll feel no pain.
DD
I hear whoopees of the horses and fieces on my trail,
AE* A*
I guess I'll join you soon but for now JJ farewell,
G* A* G* A*
for now JJ farewell.
