G                             C  
Well gather round children, a 
          G
story I will tell
       D                      G   
About Pretty Boy Floyd the outlaw,
     C             G
 Oklahoma knew him well
G                             
Was in the town of Shawnee on a 
  C              G
Saturday afternoon
    D                    G

      D               G

    D                  G           
And in the fight that followed, he

Then he ran through the trees and 
bushes
    C               G
And lived a life of shame
      D            G        C    
Every crime in Oklahoma was added
        G
 to his name
G                                 
He ran through trees and bushes on
     C              G
 the Canadian River shore
    D               G       C    
And many a starving farmer opened
        G
 up his door

It was in Oklahoma City, It was 
              G
on a Christmas Day
  D                 G              
A whole carload of groceries and a 
C               G
letter that did say
G                                 
Well you say that I'm an outlaw, 
   C              G
you say that I'm a thief
      D                  G        
Well, here's a Christmas dinner 
      C           G
for the families on relief

G                                 
As through this life you travel, 
   C               G
you meet some funny men
     D              G             
Some rob you with a six-gun, some 
C               G
with a fountain pen
G                                 
As through this life you ramble, 
  C                     G
as through this life you roam
       D            G             
You'll never see an outlaw take a 
C                 G
family from their home
