[D] [E]
[D] Death be my mistress, [Am] guns be my wife, [C] breath is my witness [G] and the roads are my life.
[Bm] I just gave my future,
[Em] as a knight in [C] a bar on the way [Em] from [A] LA.
[D] The sun heats the saddle,
[Am]
satin in my hair,
[C]
looking for water [G]
and there's sweat everywhere.
[Bm] I know that I'm [Em] nearer, I smell the damp air, [Bm]
[C] though I ain't tasted [Em] coffee for [A] days.
[Em] When leaves are down, [C] the southward [D] bound, hunters haunt the [Em] outsider.
When
[Am] [Em] the wind blows [E] [C] cold, and when the sun falls [D] low, nothing holds the [G] outsider.

[D] I just killed a man [Am] in a town called Nightfall, damned if I can [G] remember it all.
[Bm]
My hand, it was shaking, [Em]
but his target was tall.
[Em] [C]
I paid for the funeral [A] crew, [F#m] [D]
but it seems like I'll never reach [Am] Mexico.
[C] They hit me up [G] every place that I go,
[Bm] sick of the fact that [Em] I'm to lay low.

[C] What else can an outsider [A] do?
