Tuning: E A D G B E
Therse a heavy picking on the open a-string while playing the a-chord. While playing the A, thers sometimes a walk on the E-stringthis is: (A) 3-2-0-3b and back to the A-chord. Intro: A [Verse 1: Steve Earle]
ASo you wanna be an outlaw, better take it from me Living on the highway, ain't everything it's suppose to be
Everybody reckons that they wanna be free
Ain't no body wants to be Dalone AStumblin' in the alley at a quarter to three
Hollering after Sally, "Honey, what you trying to do to me" Told me "Go to hell, I'm going back to Tennessee" I said, "Angel, you can never go home" [Chorus: Steve Earle]
DNever go home Never go homeA IAf you wanna be an outlaw you can never go home
[Verse 2: Willie Nelson]
ASo you wanna be outlaw, better listen up kid ASteal a million dollars and you have to keep it hid AAin't no place to spend it in the desert if you did AAnd you can't take it with you when yoDu go
AAlways something laying for you up around the bend AEverything that goes around comes back around again AYou can't trust anybody, not a lover or a friend AYour momma, maybe, then you never know
[Chorus: Steve Earle, Willie Nelson, Both]
Never do Dknow (Never do know) Never do Aknow (Well you never do know)
If you wanna be an outlaw, then you never do know Bridge A D A [Verse 3: Steve Earle & Willie Nelson]
ASo you wanna be an outlaw, son you better think twice AYou better not pout and you better not cry A'Cause there won't nobody give a damn about you when you die ABut the devil when he comes for his Ddue
AWhen you're standing at the cross roads, don't you try to flag a ride ADon't you fall down on your knees, don't you do what's already been tried AHate to tell you but the only the left side is to sing the devil out of the blues
[Chorus: Steve Earle & Willie Nelson]
Singing the Dblues Keep on singing thAe blues
Sing the "So you say you wanna be an outlaw blues" [Outro: Steve Earle]
AHey Hey
