Tom: Eb5


(Intro)
( E5  D5 )  4x
(Verse)
  A5             D5
A whisky bottle comforts me
     G5              C5
And tells me not to cry
         A5               D5
While a full moon says a prayer for me  
   C5              E5
I try to close my eyes
         A5              D5
But the night's there to remind me
       G5     G5         C5
Of the guns and the early graves
     D5                G5
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep 
           A5        D5    G5     G5
To sing an outlaw's serenade

(CHORUS)
D5                       G5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C5             A5
When you're livin' on the run
D5                     G5                   A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            D5                 G5
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C5                  A5
For the things that I have done
D5                    G5                    C5     D5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young


( E5   D5 )  4x
(Verse)
A5                  D5
The desert's been a friend to me 
   G5           C5
It covers me by night
      A5                 D5
And a snakebite's not my enemy
      C5                E5
But it taught me how to fight
         A5                  D5
All this fame don't bring you freedom
          G5       G5      C5
Though it wears a thin disguise
        A5               D5
When an outlaw is just a man to me
     C5    D5      G5
And a man has to die

(CHORUS)
D5                       G5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C5             A5
When you're livin' on the run
D5                     G5                   A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            D5                 G5
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C5                  A5
For the things that I have done
D5                    G5                    C5     
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young

(Solo)
A5       C5            A5
Na na na na  Na na na na
         C5
Na na na na

(Bridge)
G5
And I hope someone will pray for me
G5
When it's my turn to die  ...  pray for me

(CHORUS)
D5                       G5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
            C5     C5      A5
When you're livin' on the run
D5                     G5                   A5
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young
            D5                 G5
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
        C5          C5      A5
For the things that I have done
D5                    G5                    C5     
Dyin' ain't much of a livin' ...  for the young


         C5          F5       
Na na na na  Na na na na
         G5          G5
Na na na na  Na na na na


         C5          F5       
Na na na na  Na na na na
         G5          G5
Na na na na  Na na na na
