Verse:

B5                                 E5
I met a pretty girl the next town over
                               F#5
Running like a river, thin and long
B5
Other than her dress
           E5
She looked mighty well depressed
     B5          F#5                   B5
So I asked this little lady what was wrong

B5                                          E5
She said, "All my life I've tried to be an outlaw
     B5                                    F#5
I've tried to spit and chew and steal and rob
      B5
But I ain't no good at thieven'
     E5
So I might as well be leaven
  B5                 F#5       B5
I think I'm off and go get a job"

B5                                    E5
I told the pretty girl, "Don't be so foolish
      B5                              F#5
Don't be so quick to leave a life of crime
B5                
See I'll be quick to call it
        E5
You can practice on my wallet
    B5                  F#5                  B5
And that way if you're caught you won't do time"


Chorus:

F#5
Just rob me!
B5
Just rob me!
B5                                       F#5
A pretty face like yours don't come for free
B5
If I can call you honey
          E5
Well then you can take my money
   B5                F#5
So darlin keep your gun
B5
And just rob me

Verse 2:

B5                                 E5
I see the girl again a few months later
   B5                          F#5
To see her with her gun was a relief
        B5
I said, "Honey you've got attributes
     E5
Like lace and lips and high heeled boots
    B5                F#5           B5
But dearie your just no good as a thief"

B5                                          E5
She said, "Mister how do you know that I'm failin'
  B5                              F#5
I might have robbed twenty banks today"
  B5
I looked into her eyes
           E5
And said, "Miss, I'd be surprised,
       B5                   F#5            B5
You're pointing that there gun the wrong way.

-Repeat Chorus-


Bridge:
F#5                      B5
Maybe every woman is an outlaw
    F#5                                    B5
I'm pretty sure they're pretty thieves in black
        F#5                        F#5
They'll make you scream like smoke
                           F#5
And then they rob you broke
                         F#5           F#5   F#5
But I suppose don't mind being robbed like that


Verse 3:

B5                                  E5
So my pretty thief and I started a family
        B5                      F#5
Yeah my outlaw's been given me inlaws
    B5
She kept her thievin art
        E5        
Sure as rain she stole my heart
        B5                   F#5     B5
But she tells me it's for a worthy cause

-Repeat Chorus-
