Am               D                      Am
I held on for so long, dusty quaint old song
                   G                      Am   (Am G Am G)  
Things attach with glue, live and die and gone
Am                  D                               Am
June flowers are so bold, on the devil's paintbrush road
                   G                                Am  (Am G Am G) 
The devil paints a double life, and there I dare not go


Em               D                      Am
Live and die and gone, Live and die and gone
                   G                             Am
The devil paints a double life, live and die and gone   REPEAT
(Am G Am G Am G Am G)


Am                   D                   Am
I'm not the cheating kind, it snuck from behind
                      G                               Am   (Am G Am G)  
Kicked in the door to someday, I can't get her off my mind
Am             D                     Am
All or nothing now, might as well be true
                   G                           E7        Am   (E7 Am)
Leave the dream of hearth and home, that never will come true


Em               D                      Am
Live and die and gone, Live and die and gone
                   G                         (E7 2nd only) Am
Leave the dream of hearth and home, live and die and       gone  REPEAT
(Am G Am G Am G Am G)


Am              D                      Am
Sweet wild road ahead, sweet wild road ahead
                        D                                Am    (Am G Am G)
If I lied and said that all was well, I might as well be dead


Am           D                       Am
Single I was born, and single I will die
                         D                                    Am
I'll marry myself to the whole wide world, And never make her cry REPEAT


Em               D                      Am
Live and die and gone, Live and die and gone
                         G                                  Am 
I'll marry myself to the whole wide world, live and die and gone  REPEAT
(Am G Am G)

Solo: Am D D Am Am D D Am REPEAT

Em               D                      Am
Live and die and gone, Live and die and gone
                   G                     (E7 2nd only) Am
The devil paints a double life, live and die and       gone  REPEAT
