**************** NOTORIOUS *****************
Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
E
Riding North on Interstate 75
With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side
A E
And a pistol that he used to pave the way
B7
Down the long black stretches of a dark highway
Verse 2:
E
Ray bought his future with a pound of lead
When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead
A E
That kid should have put the money in the sack
B7
But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back
Chorus 1:
A E
He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James
A E
The best that he could hope for is a household name
A E
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7 E
When all his headlines read, notorious
A E
There ain't nobody that a man can trust
B7 E
When all his headlines read, notorious
Verse 3:
E
They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock
Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block
A E
Ray killed the motor at the county line
B7
Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign
Verse 4:
E
She would never ask what the boy had done
But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one
A E
Her momma raised her to be loyal and true
B7
And she figured that's the least that she could do
Chorus 2:
A E
She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride
A E
Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde
A E
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7 E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
A E
It ain't too easy when the man you love
B7 E
Has got a reputation that's notorious
Verse 5:
E
They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on
And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs
A E
Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive
B7
And swore he'd never let them take him alive
Chorus 3:
A E
He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James
A E
The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name
A E
The morning papers didn't say too much
B7 E
But his obituairy read, notorious
A E
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7 E
But his obituairy read, notorious
A E
The caption by his picture didn't say too much
B7 E
But his obituairy read, notorious
