[Verse 1]
G
I shoulda been a cowboy
Livin' in the black hills
Livin' on the outside of the law
Yea crazier than wild Bill
Cadd9
Ridin' my quarter horse
Kickin' in saloon doors
G
Drinkin' double shots of whiskey, yeah
Em D/F# G
Wearing my single action piece
Em Cadd9 D
For all the honest world to see
[Chorus]
G
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Cadd9
Ain't no time for runnin’
'Cause ya never saw me comin'
G
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Cadd9
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman
G
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
G Cadd9
[Verse 2]
G
I'd be stealin' me some kisses
From every little bar maid
Ridin' every westbound rail
Out on bail say to hell with the James Gang
Cadd9
Livin' underneath the stars
Never give away my heart
G
Just ride away smiling, yeah
Em D/F# G
Well they'd never take this boy alive
Em Cadd9 D
'Cause don't ya know that legends never die
[Chorus]
G
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Cadd9
Ain't no time for runnin’
'Cause ya never saw me comin'
G
I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Cadd9
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman
G
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
Cadd9
Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
[Bridge]
Em D/F# G
Well they'd never take this boy alive
Em Cadd9 D
Cause don't ya know that legends never die
[Chorus]
G
I shoulda been an outlaw
Ready for a quick draw
Everybody call me the gun slingin' Southpaw
Cadd9
Ain't no time for runnin’
'Cause ya never saw me comin'

I could be dangerous I could be famous
Have my name babe in all the papers
Cadd9
Sayin' I'm wanted, by the law and every woman

Yea they'd call me the Southpaw
