G5                         Bb5                         
I'd heard The Burritos out in California  
       F5                    C5 
could fly higher than The Byrds 
G5                  Bb5 
Roger McQuinn had a 12 string guitar.  
        F5                      C5 
It was like nothing I'd ever heard 
D5                               C5 
And The Eagles flew in from the west coast 
          D5                            C5 
Like The Byrds they were trying to be free 
          Bb5                         A5 
While in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws 
       C5          Bb5       F5  
Like Willie and Waylon and me. 
 
Hey! 
G5 
Well that ?somewhere? Texas music is in the make 
                                     D5 
And we've been making music that is free 
G5                            C5 
Doing one night stands and playing with our bands 
  G5       D5         G5 
Willie, Waylon and me 
 
Oh Mad Dog!   go to lead 
 

G5  G5                         Bb5 
   They say The Beatles were just the beginning 
    F5                     C5     
of everything music could be 
G5                           Bb5 
Just like The Stones I was rolling a lone   
        F5                    C5 
Like a ship lost out on the sea 
      D5                       C5 
And Joplin would die for the future 
     D5                 C5 
And Dylan would write poetry 
        D5                         A5 
And in Texas the talk turned to Outlaws 
                  Bb5       F5  
Like Willie and Waylon and me
