Intro Am G D

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Tell me a story about those wild, wild days

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Tell me a story about cowboys, Grandpa

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Tell me a story about where you were raised

And he'd say

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Over yonder's where I was born

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Down near the meadow In a plank-board shack

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Times were hard then for honest folks

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

But we made up for all the things we lacked

(Em) (C) (G) (D)

Didn't have lawmen but we had thieves

(Em) (C) (G) (D) (Em) (C)

They used to hang them from that oak tree back then

(G) (D) (Em) (C),(G),(D),

That's just the way things were back then

Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa

Trying to find a place that's safe

Tell me a story about young men, Grandpa

The kind that sometimes make mistakes

And he'd say

Over yonder lies an old headstone

Of a man who tried to outrun his past

He settled down here and he made a home

But he was wanted alive or dead

Saw my first lawman when I was thirteen

He shot my daddy down in front of me back then

That's just the way things were back then

SOLO, Kicks A.. Aaron Wall is the MAN!!

Then, Am G D again before going back into the verse.

Tell me a story about poor men, Grandpa

Trying to feed their body and souls

Tell me a story about farmers, Grandpa

Who cleared the land where the dogwoods grow

And he'd say

Over yonder's where I would plow

We scratched a living among these hills

We raised peanuts and we raised cows

But I made my living from a whiskey stillThey sent a lawman when I was eighteen

I tried to run but they arrested meI spent a year and a day in the county jail

That's where I was

When the market fell

Another good little SOLO

Tell me a story about outlaws, Grandpa.
