[Verse 1]
E                 F#m
 We can share the women,
                     C#m A
we can share the wine
E                  Bm             D         A
 We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all
       E G#m D
of mine
A E                F#m                  C#m A
   Keep on rollin',   just a mile to go;
E                Bm     D
 Keep on rollin' my old buddy,
       A               E   B A E E7
you're movin' much too slow

[Verse 2]
E7sus4                  E7
      I just jumped the watchman,
E7sus4                  E7
      right outside the fence
E7sus4                     E7
      Took his rings, four bucks in change,
E7sus4                 E7
      ain't that Heaven  sent?
F#7sus4                 F#7
       Hurts my ears to listen, Shannon,
     F#7sus4               F#7
burns       my eyes to see;
F#7sus4                  F#7
       Cut down a man in cold blood, Shannon,
F#7sus4                        D Bm A
       might as well've been me

[Verse 3]
D           Bm          A
 We used to play for silver,
                E    E7
now we play for life;
D              Bm        A
 And one's for sport and one's for blood at the point of a
     E E7
knife
D            Bm        A
 And now the die is shaken,
                 E   E7
now the die must fall
D              Bm        A
 There ain't a winner in the game,
E                         A
 he don't go home with all
         D  G
Not with all

[Verse 4]
E              F#m                C#m A
 Leavin' Texas,   fourth day of July 
E                Bm
 Sun so hot, the clouds so low,
D    A                 E  G#m D
 the eagles filled the sky
A
E                  F#m                    C#m A
 Catch the Detroit Lightning out of Santa Fe
E                   Bm           D
 The Great Northern out of Cheyenne,
     A              E  B A E E7
from sea to shining sea

[Verse 5]
E7sus4            E7
      Gotta go to Tulsa,
E7sus4                   E7
      first train we can ride
E7sus4            E7
      Gotta settle  one old score,
E7sus4                E7
      one small point of pride
F#7sus4                      F#7
       There ain't a place a man can hide, Shannon,
F#7sus4                       F#7
       will keep him from the sun
F#7sus4                F#7
       Ain't a bed can give us rest now,
F#7sus4                      D Bm A
       you keep us on the run

D     Bm           A
 Jack Straw from Wichita
              E   E7 D
Cut his buddy down
        Bm       A
Dug for him a shallow grave
                 E    E7
And laid his body down
D       Bm           A
 Half a mile from Tucson
               E    E7
By the morning light
D       Bm        A
One man gone and another to go
E                      A
My old buddy, you're moving much
    D   G
Too slow
D G F# F
