  performed by Waylon Jennings.

  

  

  Capo on the 2nd fret.

  

  Verse 1:

           B                          

  	I don't look the way the average cowboy singer looks

               E     

  	I'll admit i've taken things i never should of took

                   F#           

  	You can read a different story in a lot of different books

              E  

  	But even then you won't really know

                  F#               B  

  	How it was a long time ago

  

  

  Verse 2:

           B 

  	Women have been my trouble since i found out they weren't men

               E

  	In spite of that i stopped and took a wife now and then

  	      F# 

  	They built their fences high but they couldn't hold me in

                 E 

  	I was born with a fire down below

                 F#                          B 

  	And i learned to fly a long time ago

  

  

  Verse 3:

           B

  	Don't ask me about the years i spent out in the rain

             E    

  	About the ones i spent in love or the ones i spent insane

                F#  

  	Don't ask me who i gave my seat to on that plane

              E  

  	I think you already know

             F#                         B

  	I told you that a long time ago

  

  

  Verse 4:(a tone higher)

           C#   

  	Me and ol' Willie,lordy we've been sold and bought

              F#  

  	I guess you all heard about some kind of system that we fought

              G#

  	We ain't the only outlaws just the only ones they caught

                 F#

  	They tried to run us off but Willie's slow

              G#                       C# 

  	I quit running a long time ago
