Transcribed by Phil Saunders
(The C chords in the verse are fragments played by the guitar,
which alternates between Gm and C on these lines)
Intro (4 times) Gm Fadd9 Ebadd9 Fadd9
Gm F Gm
There's Gmriders Cin this Gmcounty C Gm
They're Gmtaking Cheads for Gmbounty C Gm
FWake up Coreen they've Ebcome to ride us Gmdown

GmThe time to Cmove is Gmwasted C Gm
FThey're riding like a Ebhurricane through this Gmtown C Gm
GmWe've been Bbtoo many nights sleeping in a feather Gmbed
You Bbcan't close both your eyes with a price on your Gmhead
You've Fgot to stand and fight for Ebwhat you believe
You've Fgot to face death with your Ebheart on your sleeve
FLife is a card game you've Ebsoon got to leave Eb Bb

Gm F Gm
If you say that you want your freedom
They'll hear you in every kingdom
They'll travel ten thousand miles just to shoot you down
Well, the judge he was deluded
And the sheriff he soon colluded
And he swore . . . six feet off the ground
They'll hunt you down 'cause you dared to tell the truth
A man ain't safe these days under his own roof
But you can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all pay double for what they've done
High days come and the bad days come
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed
Living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed
Living on borrowed time
But you can't live your life under no man's thumb
They'll all pay double for what they've done
High days come and the bad days come
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed
Living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed, living on borrowed
Living on borrowed time
(repeat)
