A5               E5 
I am an outlaw, I was born an outlaw's son 
 A5                        E5 
The highway is my legacy  On the highway I will run 
 A5                        E5 
In one hand I've a Bible  In the other I've got a gun  
 A5                      E5 
Well, don' you know me  I'm the man who won 

 ** Chorus ** 
 G5          D5                     A5          C5  
Woman don't try to love me  Don't try to understand  
  G5             D5           A5            C5   E5 
A life upon the road is the life of an outlaw man  

************************************************* 

This album cut was released in April,73 and  

I first saw these guys as a warm-up band at  

the Warehouse in Naw'lens in June, I knew then 

folks would hear a "lot more from those guys". 

So, I hope David Blue would not mind, if I added  

this verse:  
 A5                 E5  
 I, met a woman,  'round 'bout San Antoin'  
 A5                       E5 
An' late in the evenin', when we were all alone  
 A5                         E5 
I told her,how I loved her and I held her tight!! 
 A5                                    
'Cause the next mourin', I was leavin' 
 E5    
Off to another fight!! 

 ** Chorus ** 


 E5                   A5 
First left my woman, it was down in Santa Fe 
 E5                   A5  
Headed for Oklahoma, I was ridin' night and day 
 E5                                
All of my friends are strangers,  
 A5 
They quickly come and go  
 E5 
And all my love's in danger,  
 A5 
'Cause I steal hearts and souls  

 ** Chorus ** 


 A5                    E5  
Some me call me Abel, Some men call me Cain, 
 A5                             E5 
Some men call me sinner, Lord  Some men call me saint  
 A5                         E5 
Some say there's a Jesus   Some men say there ain't  
 A5                            E5 
When you got no life to lose  Then there's nothin' left to gain  
 A5       E5 
OUTL-A-W  M-A-N 
 A5       E5 
OUTL-A-W  M-A-N
