EF#mC#mA
We can share the women, we can share the wine
EBmDAEG#mDA
We can share what we've got of yours 'cause we done shared all of mine.
EF#mC#mA
Keep on rollin', just a mile to go,
EBmDAEBAEE7
Keep on rollin', my old buddy, you're movin' much too slow.
[Verse 2]

I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence,
E7sus4E7E7sus4E7
Took his rings, four bucks in change, ain't that heaven sent?
[Verse 3]
F#7sus4F#7F#7sus4F#7
Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, burns my eyes to see,
F#7sus4F#7F#7sus4DBmAE
Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, might as well been me.
[Verse 4]
DBmAE
We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
DBmAE
And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a knife.
DBmAE
And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall;
DBmAEA
There ain't no winner in the game, he don't go home with all,
DGDGF#FEEsus4EEsus4E
Not with all.
[Verse 5]

Leavin' Texas, fourth day of July,
EBmDAEG#mDA
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
EF#mC#mA
Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe,
EBmDAEBAEE7
The Great Northern out of Cheyenne from sea to shining sea.
[Verse 6]
E7sus4E7E7sus4E7
Gotta go to Tulsa, first train we can ride,
E7sus4E7E7sus4E7
Got to settle one old score, one small point of pride.
F#7sus4F#7F#7sus4F#7
Ain't no place a man can hide, Shannon, to keep him from the sun;
F#7sus4F#7F#7sus4DBmAE
Ain't no bed can give us rest, now, you keep us on the run.
[Verse 7]
DBmAE
Jack Straw from Wichita cut his buddy down,
DBmAE
And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down.
DBmAE
Half a mile from Tucson, by the morning light,
DBmAEADGDGF#FEEsus4EEsus4E
One man gone and another to go, my old buddy you're moving much too slow.
[Verse 8]

We can share the women, we can share the wine.
