They can't [D] use the road, no way, the [A] sun's not above the sky.
[E] The legend of [A] the strongest [D#] friend of blood we fought [G] and [D] died.
[A] He didn't [D] know what they'd both done, [F#m] show us how [A] to end our [F#] bond.
Or how [A#] to nudge [A] the [D] sheriff's gun, [E] if he didn't know how to [Bm] get [F#] out [B] of here.

_ Sheriff [D] Bob's always east, John's in [A] Kansas, in the Midwest.
[E] Said he'd put on a [A] bullet like [B] Bob on a jersey [D] chest.
[A] So he [D] wasn't like the rest, the [F#] night police [A] hosted his best.
[F#] _ [C#m] He'd do [A] his very [D] best, [E] don't want any arrests.
_ _ [C#] [B] Don't wanna be the [E] guest on the sheriff, [C] the night's got [F] so damn cold.
He couldn't [C]
stand the pain, [G] he looked [C] again for sheriff's [D] men.
Couldn't see [Dm] a [G] trace, [C] so he found [F] a nice warm [C] place.
But then the [F] sheriff's soldier [Dm] came, pushed [C] his arm [F] into his face and [C] said,
Sheriff, look here.

[A] Sheriff [D] going into town, [A] Josie looked inside.
[D] [E] He didn't know [A] what Bob got, so he got [B] to get [Bm] Josie high.
[A] And Josie drew [D] his gun real fast, gave the sheriff one big blast.
And [C#m] Josie ran [A] for time, and [Bm] that's how they came to have
