  			Intro: 
A A D A 

D                        A 
It's a Saturday afternoon romance 
Bm                     D 
between a cowboy and a fool 
      A 
And a fool 


A 
A drunken meet up 

in a crude saloon 
D                     A 
A poor rocky mountain town 
D 
He's a scoundrel and 
A 
She's no pearl 
Bm                    D            A 
And together they are two lovers cruel 


A 
Got her balanced on his knee 
D                         A 
He knows exactly what to say 
D 
"You ain't been born 
           A 
'til you get out of town 
Bm                             D 
and honey, you might come with me" 
                A 
might come with me" 


       E 
If you do 
       D    A 
If you do 
       Bm 
If you do 
           D 
And if you do 
E 
I'll spare the innocent ones 
D                 A 
and take you with me 
Bm                   D            A 
And together we will be drifters free" 


A 
Got her tangled in his arms 
D                         A 
she's a lusting, trusting fool 
D 
"No man born can rule me 
A 
that I've sworn 
Bm                  D 
but stranger if you do, 
               A 
I'll belong to you" 


       E 
If you do 
       D    A 
If you do 
       Bm 
If you do 
           D 
And if you do 
E 
"Would you spare the innocent ones 
D                      A 
Would you take me with you? 
Bm                D 
Can you love the land 
            A 
and love me too?" 


A 
As he grows sober 

sees his love anew 
D                      A 
in the morning light so true 
Bm                 D 
and he gets on the move 
       A 
On the move
