Confederate Railroad - Notorious guitar chord

#

#

From: Perret Charles

**************** NOTORIOUS *****************

Written and performed by Confederate Railroad.

Capo on the 1st fret.

Verse 1:

E

Riding North on Interstate 75

With a nervous fading beauty sitting by his side

A E

And a pistol that he used to pave the way

B7

Down the long black stretches of a dark highway

Verse 2:

E

Ray bought his future with a pound of lead

When he robbed a liquor store and left the clerk for dead

A E

That kid should have put the money in the sack

B7

But he didn't and now there ain't no turning back

Chorus 1:

A E

He's a desperate rider, he's a Jesse James

A E

The best that he could hope for is a household name

A E

There ain't nobody that a man can trust

B7 E

When all his headlines read, notorious

A E

There ain't nobody that a man can trust

B7 E

When all his headlines read, notorious

Verse 3:

E

They pulled out of ? about12 o'clock

Took the heatstroke with the lights off to avoid the road block

A E

Ray killed the motor at the county line

B7

Changed his Tennessee plates to a lost tag sign

Verse 4:

E

She would never ask what the boy had done

But said she'd be his hostage if he needed one

A E

Her momma raised her to be loyal and true

B7

And she figured that's the least that she could do

Chorus 2:

A E

She was lost and lonely on a midnight ride

A E

Reluctant Bonnie to a poorman's Clyde

A E

It ain't too easy when the man you love

B7 E

Has got a reputation that's notorious

A E

It ain't too easy when the man you love

B7 E

Has got a reputation that's notorious

Verse 5:

E

They were just outside of Knoxville when the lights flashed on

And the siren's starting howling like hell houndogs

A E

Ray popped that Firebird into overdrive

B7

And swore he'd never let them take him alive

Chorus 3:

A E

He was a desperate rider, he was Jesse James

A E

The best that he'd ever hope for was a household name

A E

The morning papers didn't say too much

B7 E

But his obituairy read, notorious

A E

The caption by his picture didn't say too much

B7 E

But his obituairy read, notorious

A E

The caption by his picture didn't say too much

B7 E

But his obituairy read, notorious
