[Verse 1]
DAmCG
Death be my mistress, guns be my wife, breath is my witness and roads are my life
BmEmCA
Just give my future's clean as a knife, far on the way from L.A
DAmCG
The sun heats the saddle, sand in my hair, looking for water, and there's sweat everywhere
BmEmCA
Know that I'm nearer I smell damp air, I ain't tasted coffee for days
[Chorus]
EmCDEm
When the leaves are down, I'll be southward bound, hunters hunt the outsider
EmCDEm
When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old, nothing holds the outsider
[Instrumental]
CEmCA
[Verse 2]
DAmCG
Just killed a man in a town called nightfall, damned if I can't, remember it all
BmEmCA
My hand it was shaking, but his talk it was tall, I paid for the funeral crew
DAmCG
And it seems like I never reach Mexico, they're heading me off every place that I go
BmEmCA
I'm sick of the fact that I've, got to lay low, what else can an outsider do
[Chorus]
EmCDEm
I know they're near to me, I don't have to see, just let me be the outsider
EmCDEm
They ain't far behind, they're always on my mind, they won't find the outsider
CEmCEm
The outsider
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
EmCDEm
When the leaves are down, I'll be southward bound, hunters haunt the outsider
EmCDEm
When the wind grows cold, when the sun grows old, nothing holds the outsider
[Outro]

The outsider, the outsider
