John Wesley Harding _ _
[A] shot a man for snoring, _ _
[B] killed him in the bed right where he [E] lay. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He took a snort of whiskey and [A] went back to his sleeping, _ [C#] _
[B] and rode out before they found him the next [E] day.
_ _ _ _ _ Now the brothers Frank and Jesse, _ [Am] no one could be more fearsome.
They [B] robbed the trains and rode in the outlaw [E] gangs. _ _ _ _ _
The Civil War was over, _ _ [Am] but still they fought for Dixon, _ [B] and legend has their last name to be [E] _ James. _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Living in [B] the West, _ _
[E] _ must have been [C#m] the best, _ _
[A] _ must have been the greatest times [B] of all. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Me, I lived [B] in the East, and [E] I was born to say [C#m] the least. _
[A] I never saw down sons with guns, and bar rooms starting [B] to roll. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _

_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Little William Bonney, _ [A] Billy the Kid they called him, _ [B] _ had to use a six gun to [E] survive. _ _
_ _ _ _ He bit the dust at 21, but he [A] left a _ reputation, _ _ [B] a notch for every year he [E] was alive. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Living in the [B] West, _ _ _ [E] must have been the [C#m] best, _ _ [A] _ must have been the greatest _ [B] times of all. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Me, I lived [B] in the East, and [E] I was born to say [C#m] the least.
_ [A] I never saw down sons with guns, and bar rooms starting [B] to roll.
_ _ _ _ And [E] now the frontier days are over, _ [A] for Billy and John and Jesse, _ [B] and a thousand other bad guys of [E] their day.
_ _ _ _ But they still live on in story, _ [A] and I hope they live forever. _
[B] And to sum it up, here's all that I [E] want to say. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ Living in [B] the West, _ _
[E] _ must have been [C#m] the best, _ _
[A] _ must have been the greatest times [B] of all. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] Me, I lived [B] in the East, and [E] I was born to say [C#m] the least.
Cause [A] I never saw down sons with guns, and bar [F#] rooms starting [B] to roll. _ _
