{Intro} [E Esus4 E]

[E F#m C#m A] We can share the women, we can share the wine. [E Bm D] We can share what we got of yours [ A E G#m D A] ‘Cause we done shared all of mine. [E F#m C#m A] Keep on rollin’, just a mile to go; [E Bm D] Keep on rollin’ my old buddy, [ A E B A E] You’re movin’ much too slow.

[E7sus4 E7] I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence. Took his rings, four bucks in change, Ain’t that Heaven sent? [F#7sus4 F#7] Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon, Burns my eyes to see Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon, [F#7sus4 D Bm A E] Might as well been me.

[D Bm A] We used to play for silver, [E] Now we play for life; [D Bm A] And one’s for sport and one’s for blood [E] At the point of a knife. [D Bm A] And now the die is shaken, [E] Now the die must fall. [D Bm A] There ain’t a winner in the game, [E A] Who don’t go home with all. [D G D G (SN BASS G F# F E)] Not with all.

[E F#m C#m A] Leavin’ Texas, Fourth day of July, [E Bm D] Sun so hot, the clouds so low, [A E G#m D A] The eagles filled the sky [E F#m C#m A] Catch the Detroit Lightnin’ out of Sante Fe, [E Bm D] The Great Northern out of Cheyenne, [A E B A E] From sea to shining sea.

[E7sus4 E7] Gotta go to Tulsa, First train we can ride. Gotta settle one old score, One small point of pride. [F#7sus4 F#7] There ain’t a place a man can hide, Shannon Will keep him from the sun Ain’t a bed can give us rest now, [F#7sus4 D Bm A E] You keep us on the run.

{Jam} [D Bm A / | E / / / |]

[D Bm A] Jack Straw from Wichita [E] Cut his buddy down, [D Bm A] And dug for him a shallow grave [E] And laid his body down. [D Bm A] Half a mile from Tucson, [E] By the morning light, [D Bm A] One man gone and another to go, [E A D G D G ] My old buddy you’re moving too slow.

[E F#m C#m A E] We can share the women, we can share the wine.
