Confederate Railroad - Ladies Love Outlaws guitar chord

Ladies Love Outlaws

written by Lee Clayton

from the album "Maverick...The Soundtrack"

tabbed 7/24/05

NOTE: I think this is a different key than Waylon's version, in case you're confused.

INTRO: G

G C

Bessi was a lovely child from West Tennessee

D G

LeRoy was an outlaw, hard-eyed and mean

G C

One day she saw him staring and it chilled her to the bone

D G

She knew she had to see that look on a child of her own

CHORUS:

G C

'Cause ladies love outlaws

D G

Like babies love stray dogs

G C

Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold

D G

Outlaws touch ladies somewhere deep down in their soul

Linda was a lady, blond and built to last

Billy was a no-good guitar picker runnin' from his past

Listenin' to his songs she heard nothin' but bad news

Still she made her mind up, tried to get him win or lose

CHORUS
